The main objective was the creation of five research roadmaps towards IMS by the year 2020 and beyond.
The innovation roadmaps 24 highlight the main milestones of innovation activities (i e. research and development, management and policy actions) which are needed to achieve a desired vision.
Each roadmap focused on one of five key areas of technology (KATS:(i) sustainable manufacturing, products and services;(

The roadmaps have been adapted for use by the European commission. These start from the implementation of the identified research topics and supporting actions between 2011 and 2013
The roadmaps were debated and refined with the European commission, who was the client of the project
Based on this, the roadmaps were shaped around:(i) research topics (RTS in Fig. 4) which act as‘bricks'with short term implementation needed (starting in Fig. 4. IMS2020 roadmaps.

The devised Joint Vision and roadmaps, which include the milestones of innovation activities identified, was open for wide consultation in the IMS region and beyond through a wiki platform.
Final results were presented in the form of roadmaps between today and 2020 to enable the European commission to identify
patent databases as well as existing research and worldwide roadmaps on manufacturing. The mapping results were brought together with partners'and stakeholders'experience,
Roadmaps have been developed for the European commission identifying the key resources (i e. research areas and research topics) that are expected, according to the selected models,
This is because none of the partners beyond JRC-IPTS were acquainted with foresight and the alternative processes for building scenarios, joint visions and roadmaps.

Technology roadmapping The structure of the roadmaps used in this study was designed by adapting from the generic format of a product/technology roadmap (Phaal et al.
) The basic elements of a generic roadmap representiin market, products, technology, R&d programs, and resources, were changed into the elements listed below:
and management of EID Aim to develop roadmaps of technology applications that have high impact to combat EID Aim to develop roadmaps of technology research domain
The time frame of the roadmaps was divided into three periods: short term (2007 2012), medium term (2012 2017),
The structure of the roadmaps used in this study is shown in Figure 3. Two roadmapping workshops were organized in Tokyo in Japan on 22 24 may (42 experts from nine economies) 2007 and in Taipei, Chinese Taipei

in order to make the best use of the foresight roadmaps, the results should be disseminaate to a broad range of (and certainly to those in positions of authority) stakeholders.
The significant findings for each of the roadmaps from the point of view of convergennce are: Vaccines:
The criteria identified as being important for foresight specialists to achieve effective policy engagement were deep knowledge in the relevant field, a‘roadmap'style of thinking
Applying diversified roadmap concept'Ahlqvist et al. 2011) Deals with a deliberate roadmapping approach both to rapid and gradual systemic transformations characterised by complexity

It is based on an idea that roadmaps are like visual narratives that describe the most critical paths of future developments (Phaal and Muller 2009.
This visual emphasis enables the use of roadmaps as crystallized strategy maps that open up a simultaneous perspective on both the macro-level currents and on the corresponding micro-level developments (Blackwell et al. 2008.
The roadmaps are approached not as‘hermetic'plans to achieve definite goals (e g. new products), but instead they are approached as knowledge umbrellas that depict a large-scale strategy picture of a system.
It means that different parts of the roadmap are formed in a systemmati workshop process that includes several stakeholdders iteration and feedback,
but the data is presented also in a visual roadmap structure. Secondly, in IPRM the long-term thinking is dependent on the subject under study.
a roadmap synthesizes and depicts the participants'common understanding of future societal and market needs. The fourth way to use roadmaps is with visionary strategizing.
This refers to a‘cross-over'knowledge that builds on understanding the interfaces between the layers of the roadmap
for example societal drivers, markets, soluttion and technologies in a certain timeframe. A roadmap can create an analytic structure for understandiin how
and when the‘push'created by new technologies and the‘pull'driven by market demand are likely to match,
either singular technologies or logical temporal sequences, in the roadmap structure. When the business environment follows the systemic logic of a value network rather than the more linear logic of a value chain,
the level of systemic transformation (transformation roadmap) and the level of enablers (technology roadmaps. However, it depends on the case
whether the particular enabling roadmaps are necessary or whether it is sufficient to map the enablers at the level of a systemic transformation roadmap.
In Section 4, for example, we present an example of a more focused sectoral roadmap (the construction industry in the Victoria Technology roadmap, Australia) in
which the enablers are mapped in the transformation roadmap, and a roadmap of environmenntall sustainable ICT, in which the enablers are mapped separately as three technology roadmaps.
The structure of the systemic transformation roadmap is presented in Fig. 1. This roadmap depicts the impacts of the objects under scrutiny (e g. new industrial practice and emerging service business) in an overall systemic level.
In a transformation roadmap the system could refer to an entity consisting of different actors, for example, in the health value network and the regulatory context of this network,
as in the case of the health sector, or the Innovation policy roadmapping. 181 system could also refer to a convergence of sectors, for example in the case of functional foods.
The key idea of a transformation roadmap is to connect the development of technologies and innovations to a wider societal sphere.
The aim is to endorse the formation of policy conclusions based on an in depth understanding of the technological developments and their socioeconomic frameworks.
The first roadmap level in a transformation roadmap is drivers. This level depicts the key drivers
and the so-called‘grand challenges'that are assessed as the most important factors structuring the roadmap topic.
Fig. 2 presents the subset of a systemic transformation roadmap, the technology roadmap. The critical boundary of the technology roadmap is formed by the long-term vision defined in the systemic transformation roadmap.
The technology roadmap has four potential levels. What levels are utilized depends on the topic: in some cases it is enough to map just the enabling technologies,
'The third possible roadmap level accentuates needs and market developments both the market segments and geograpphica market regions that are important for the technology-based solutions under scrutiny.
There are basically three ways to build roadmaps. The first way is oriented future i e. to define a desired vision and the related future targets,
opportunities based on emerging technologies Technology roadmap 2 Technology roadmap n Figure 1. Generic structure of systemic transformation roadmap. 182.

Roadmap of environmentally sustainable ICT, Finland 5. 1 Background The second case study is a roadmap of an emerging systemic field:
The aim of the roadmap is to form a perspecctiv on the issue based on VTT's technological expertiis
In the roadmap, ICT for environmental sustainability is defined as the use of ICT for optimising societal activities
The case example consists of a transformation roadmap (see Fig. 4) and a technology roadmap (see Fig. 5). The roadmapping process was completed in three working phases.
Phase III involved the elaboration of the roadmap. The first step was a round of comments in
The second step was the updating of the roadmap document. The third step was an extensive round of commenting on the document.
The roadmap was finalized then. 5. 2 Outline of the transformation and technology roadmaps This example of environmentally sustainable ICT demonstrrate an innovation policy roadmap that is constructed of a systemic transformation roadmap and a technology roadmap
which is a subset of the transformation roadmap. The long-term vision, targeted towards the year 2025,
for the roadmap of environmentally sustainable ICT was the following: ICT will increasingly be present in our everyday private and business life.
It has contributed to decreasing the resource consumption and resource-intensive lifestyles in many ways. ICT offers achievable data and easy-to-use tools for the people to decrease their ecological footprint

technology roadmap on‘extending natural resources'In the final part of the case study section we present an example of a technology roadmap constructed as a subset of the transformation roadmap (see Fig. 5). The topic of the exemplary roadmap is‘extending natural resources'.
'The roadmap has two levels: technology-enabled solutions and enabling technologies. 5. 4. 1 Technology-enabled solutions.
The first case study (green and intelligent buildings in Victoria Australia) was an example of a transformmatio roadmap that was completed as part of a wider regional strategy for industrial renewal.

In this case foresight supports the identification of specific research needs and roadmaps, short-and long-term poliic measures
Temporal co-ordination can be enhanced by foresight through the joint development of a vision for the future and of a roadmap towards it,
Temporal co-ordination also relates to regularly checking those scenariios visions and roadmaps against new developments
as well as criteria to assess potential call topics, such as providing input and insights for developing new concepts and providing input for research roadmaps.
Equipped with roadmaps and claims for internal and external communication, institute consortia contributing to the future topics could apply for further internal and external funding.
