Indeed, despite the strong track-record of national foresights in many European countries, not much work has been done to clarify how foresight elements should be combined to enhance the coordination tools that are crucial to the establishment of the European research area.
a striking example of that approach is the recent EU Green Paper on the European research area 3. Georghiou
'What is striking in this respect is the sheer lack of alternative visions in the 2007 Green Paper on The European research area 3. A major benefit for policy-makers (at the EU,

They argue that this tailored approach should be adopted in the development of the European research area. Ko nno la et al. put forward a framework to clarify different roles of foresight within the system and their respective impacts and implications for policy and societal developments.

the ERA NET Plant Genomics aims at strengthening the European research area in Plant Genomics. It is composed as a network of research funding organisations responsible for the development of national or regional plant genomics research programmes.
is a Consortium of 17 national research agencies from 12 countries in the European research area whose objective is the coordination of the national policies in fundamental research at the nanometric scale.
this paper proposes a reasonably validated framework which beyond its acknowledged limitations addresses directly the difficult issue of the design of Foresight activities fit for the emerging European research area (ERA.
