which can be used for different purposes such as R&d agenda setting and the development of more resilient policies.
The fact that the horizon scans considered here were developed for different purposes illustrates their versatility as a policy
so that their effectiveness could be properly evaluatted The purpose of such guidelines would not be to limit their use to one particular context,
which was limited more for the Danish scan due to the fact that the Danish scan had limited a purpose. 4. Australia and New zealand Horizon scanning Network (health technology scan).
