accepted 1 february 2008 Abstract This paper on regulatory foresight addresses approaches which allow future fields for regulatory action to be identified.

and tries to address especially approaches which allow the identification of future fields for regulatory action,

The new developed systematic approach to identify future fields for standardisation combines both an indicator-based approach with a Delphi exercise

broader future fields as well as single future topics. Both kinds are selected relevant and according to a set of criteria.

From single persons, we know that the scientific curiosity about the future fields and topics was the major motivation for participation.

the topics that were defined as future fields and future topics for BMBF were worked out in different papers. For this, a last assessment by the international Monitoring Panel (second wave of partly standardised interviews) took place to validate the results.

future fields were recommended for consideration. They cannot be summarised here but the eight future fields which should be considered with a different perspective were:

In particular Warnke (2011) recommends the use of strategic dialogues to foster the embedding of suggested‘future fields'into the national research, technology and innovation (RTI) landscaape Ahlqvist et al.
