In 1993, Harrison and Manz 52 reported on a breakthrough regarding the successful miniaturisation of the analytical technique of capillary electrophoresis,

and the creation of credible indices of progress across countries, companies and groups with common assumptions to measure progress. 3. Reducing the domain of the unknowable It is hard to imagine the consequences of a new breakthrough before it occurs.
because the breakthrough that makes them feasible has not been demonstrated or even postulated yet. Some of these undiscoverable events may turn out to be the most important aspects of the future.
Or, more importantly, how do breakthroughs really happen and can they be anticipated, if not individually, at least categorically?
Received 24 november 2008 Received in revised form 15 july 2009 Accepted 17 july 2009 Potentially breakthrough science
For those wishing to enable beneficial technology applications stemming from potentially breakthrough areas of science and technology, such as nanotechnology,
But the potential breakthrough nature of nanotechnologies as enablers of radically new applications may mean a complex reconfiguration of the environments that a nanotechnology innovation may traverse during its‘lifetime'from concept to well embedded technology in our society.
However, for breakthrough technologies, the factors that shape the pathways may be evolving too! An example could be the regulatory landscape
Disruptive role encouraging an emphasis on crisis or breakthrough events which can completely change the current status quo.
Indexes such as FTSE4GOOD Index, 4 Domini 400 Social Index and Dow jones Sustainability Index played a crucial role in the commercial breakthrough that SRI has seen over the last decades due to the fact that they allow benchmarking between the performance

remarked on that occasion that it was a major breakthrough achievement to have committed Finland to reducing its emissions to a sustainable level by at least 80 per cent from the 1990 level by 2050.

The notion of FTA addressing research and innovation policy through priority-setting and articulation of demand has shifted to the search of breakthrough science
's epistemology) and conducting to some conceptual breakthroughs like Richard Dawkins'24 memes in the 1970s and more recently Daniel Dennet's 25 Darwin's Dangerous Idea (the idea that all the fruits of evolution,
one could conclude that certain combinations of these parameters hinder the breakthrough of new technologies. Since the way in which economic development is represented in this model creates cyclic behavior,
New tendencies include a heightened search for breakthrough science and a focus on grand societal challenges.
This could be interpreted as a response to uncertainty an attempt to facilitate those most likely by their track record of excellence to achieve breakthroughs that may have a transformative effect.
For FTA ACTIVITY breakthrough science is less something to be anticipated 2 From the well-known quote by the former US Secretary of defense,
Tapping users'imaginative potential may not necessarily lead to breakthrough innovative ideas, yet it offers a way to open up the innovation process,
but also on potential breakthroughs, analysis of risks, uncertainties and unexpected events that are considered as potentially disruptive in the future.
