Participation

Step 1: Develop future visions

  1. Key stakeholders were interviewed in order to determine possible Focus Themes for the foresight exercise.
  2. A Future Workshop was organized. The objective was to determine a set of Focus Themes from the data collected during the interviews. The participants were decision-makers and futurists. Five Focus Themes were identified:
    • Information Society Technologies
    • Competitiveness through Innovation
    • Quality of Life
    • Social and Cultural Dynamics
    • Energy and Environment
  3. An online survey was used in order to collect data on possible Directions for Investigation within each Focus Theme.
  4. The data were clustered, and initial lists of possible Directions for Investigation were produced for each Focus Theme.

Step 2: Theme focusing

The Negotiation Workshop

Goal: select (m) statements , balanced among (p) categories, from a larger set on (n) visionary statements

Preliminaries: a large number of statements about the future are collected, grouped and merged into (n) visionary statements; the (n) visionary statements are further grouped into (p) clusters

Participants: 60-100 people, representing a diversity of actors (research system, public administration, private interests, civic society, …); (p/2) groups are formed, respecting diversity in participation, according to participants’ interests in 2 clusters

Step 3: Focus on demand for research and development
