Introduction The first universities emerged as responses to the need to harness the expanding intellectual forces of the era to the increasingly demanding knowledge requirements of the surrounding society
It is followed by futures for the European research and Innovation Area (ERIA), 5 as the more immediate surroundings for universities,

The second section proposes an analytical view of the European research and innovation system and identifies the catalytic role of Foresight in this framework.
Foresight is presented as a systemic policy tool appropriate for contributing to a better-geared European research

Similarly, regions for instance those hosting the most active science clusters have also a word to say in European research matters.

The immediate conclusion for Foresight is need the for consensus building among stakeholders from industry and civil society for a further development of the European research and innovation system.
Aimed at implementing large European research and technology development projects in Nanoelectronics, the nano JTI associates public bodies and funds (the European commission, Member States and Associated States) and private bodies funds through AENAS.
To sum up the analysis revealed two types of Foresight useful for underpinning the European research and innovation system in the area of Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies:(

The identification of grand challenges and the corresponding priorities for research and innovation through the use of forward-looking activities is mentioned explicitly in the Council's conclusions (December 2009) 7 on guidance on future priorities for European research.
