A Technical Committee was supporting the scientific content preparation of the Seminar, and was done together with the European Techno-Economic policy Support (ETEPS) Network.
It explains the development of a particular variation of a roadmapping technique, the so-called‘multi-path mapping'(MPM) toolset by exploring its prospects

and several scholars have proposed different classifications of these techniques. The different dimenssion used to classify these different FTA techniqque include:
the type of technique (qualitative versus (semi) quantitative), the type of approach (exploratory versus normative),
Not all techniques described in the classifications mentioone comply to the same extent with all six principlles For example,
many quantitative techniques usually have a small participatory base, while purely qualitative approaches tend to have a weaker evidence base.
Furthermore, by exploring new mixes of FTA TOOLS they contribute to the creation of FTA techniques that are more adaptive to clients'needs and to context characteristiics Last but not least, this special section also contribbute to the identification of key success factors in the application of these techniques.
and their insights can be translaate into technical requirements. The authors descrrib how user involvement can be applied during three different research stages in the innovation process,
and other scanning techniques), covering the area that is to be scanned. A focus on all signals that might have significant impact on the strategic missions
The use of the scenario technique turned out to be essenttial as was the mix of both open participatory and restricted process elements to tackle sensitive policy issues.
and the issue of technical protection means like digital rights management systems; the structure of the creative content sector and the fundamental transformation process it is undergoinng of particular importance is the question of how new,
In this respect the use of techniques to identify weak signals would have improved the farsightedness of the theses
promoting study programmes and curricula combinnin technical, business and creative skills; teaching the teachers; encouraging women to engage in creative content activities;
The need for standardisatiio and technical platforms to facilitate research and innovation in certain thematic areas was accepted also widely,
appropriate budget and techniques alone are insufficient factors to explain the success of foresight programs. The interview results indicate that success is defined ultimately as the impact of the foresight exercise on government policy,
medical imaging, decision-making techniques, future knowledge management systems, and project management. Greg Tegart has had a long and varied career.

interdisciplinary research on quality of experience (Qoe) and quality of service (Qos) in mobile media environments, evaluation of user-and futureorieente innovation techniques in the ICT domain,
the adequate translation and transformation of user insights and requirements into more technical requirements (and vice versa), is still a challenge.
Secondly, the clusters were ranked to identify the most promising application (s)/ cluster (s). A factor analysis (using the principal component analysis technique) of the interest shown by the 312 respondents in the 80 mobile city application (s) showed that this interest can be summarized in 21 factors,
This approach draws on hard technical parameters as well as more subjective (social, contextual etc. elements and their translation.
and how insights from user research might be translated adequaatel into technical requirements. Future research will include the testing of this multimettho approach with a large number of users and several usage contexts and parameters in a living lab setting.

These authors have proposed a classification of methods and techniques by the type of approach (exploratory or normatiive) method (qualitative, semi-quantitative or quantitattive or source of knowledge (creativity, expertise, interaction or evidence.

the modern techniques of genetic modification were adopted to improve the genes of particular seeds, such as the seeds of subtropical fruits.
Since the 1980s the modern technique of genetic modification was applied to improve the genes of subtropical fruits (such as papayas) and non-edible organisms (such as ornamental fish.
STI agendas should seek to better orient innovation activities along more sustainable pathways that enable positive transformations of socio-technical systems
and are technical and organisational in nature. Any reorientation of innovattio systems towards grand challenges is likely to require both the establishment of new organisations and the adaptation of existing ones..
Such socio-technical approaches refrain from simple policy recipes. Instead, they highlight co-evolution, multi-dimensionality, compleexit and multi-actor processes, conditions that,
This can be a first step in trying to overcome certain lock ins and path-dependencies along specific socio-technical trajectories.

socio-technical transformation. 1. Introduction Since the 1960s, the results of R&d practices have increasinngl been approached as knowledge inputs in the construuctio of science and technology policies.
Secondly, the literature on systemic innovations and transition managemeen emphasizes the dynamic relations of sociotechnoologica landscapes, socio-technical regimes and niche-level innovations in the context of emerging technologies (Geels and Schot 2007.
a framework for forward-looking policy design 3. 1 Methodological background IPRM is an integrative method that combines the two cultures of roadmapping with a sensibility towards systemic aspects of socio-technical transformation.
The aim of TM is to connect micro-scale technical niches into macrosccal landscape developments through the middle-scale of a socio-technical regime (Geels 2004:
such as public funding for R&d and innovation, support for technical standardizatiion intellectual property rights regulation and the provisiio of public technical infrastructure, can be applied.
IPRM endorses the positioning of the policy practices in a dynamic socio-technical context, and weighs the policy practices in relation to the conditioning factors.
