  abstract = {<p>This special issue of Information \&amp; Security presents selected results from the EU security research project FOCUS ({\textquotedblleft}Foresight Security Scenarios {\textendash} Mapping Research to a Comprehensive Approach to Exogenous EU Roles{\textquotedblright}). This project aims to define the most plausible threat scenarios that affect the {\textquotedblleft}borderline{\textquotedblright} between the EU{\textquoteright}s external and in-ternal dimensions to security {\textendash} and to derive guidance for the Union{\textquoteright}s future possible security roles and decisions to plan research in support of those roles. Scenario foresight in the FOCUS project was done on the level of critical and creative {\textendash} yet methodologically guided {\textendash} forward thinking at strategic level in order to increase the EU{\textquoteright}s ability to cope with relevant alternative futures from the near future until 2035. A first group of articles discusses methods and techniques in scenario-based foresight as integrated and applied within FOCUS. A second group of articles presents selected empirical results from FOCUS scenario foresight on threats, risk management needs, and future EU roles as a comprehensive security provider. A third group of articles introduces research planning implications from selected FOCUS security scenarios. A final set of articles addresses the way ahead: How FOCUS methods and results could be useful beyond the immediate mission and scope of the project to guide policy development and industry strategies.</p>},
