More information and a pointer to the report is at http://www.icsu.org/news-centre/news/icsu-foresight-analysis-report-appears Some CNI-announce readers will recall a series of scenarios that the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) did in late 2010 looking at the future of the research enterprise in 2030 (see http://www.arl.org/rtl/plan/scenarios/usersguide/index.shtml for more information on these scenarios). As far as I know these efforts developed independently, and, while approached from rather different viewpoints, it's interesting to see the connections among the scenarios developed by the two projects.
