The final policy analysis stage was restricted to discussions with the client, i e. the European commission. The varying degrees of particippatio enabled us to handle better the complexity and uncertainties regarding the evolution of the creatiiv content sector,
To structuur our discussion we followed the common elemeent used in step 3 to systematically describe our scenarios (global context and key drivers

The scenario discussions revealed an EID life cycle model (see Figure 4), with four stages from preventiiv measures to surveillance and detection to treatmeen and prevention of spread.
Since the scenario workshop, this EID life cycle model has been employed throughout the project as the structure for discussions in the technology roadmapppin workshops in both Japan and Chinese Taipei and the final symposium in Bangkok.
The discussions at the workshop revealed their inter-relationships both with one another and with the three domains of technoloog research identified earlier.
'During this project many fruitful discussions took place, suggesting potential activities that could have a high impact in efforts to combat EID.

The agenda was built around five key questions: what kind of emerging issues should FTA seek to address,
The methodologgica approach must induce out-of-the-box thinking, by the cumulative introduction of different visions on the subject, open discussions and the use of creative methods.
Thus, not only discussions about the need for social engageemen in the decision-making process emerge, but also the concepts of governance, macro-coordination and develoopmen of vertical communication channels in the governnmen area return to the forefront.
From this brief introduction about the environment of governance social engagement and foresight, it can be seen that the discussion about intangibles should be focused more on state-of-the-practices than the state-of-the-art.

The final workshop,‘FINEP of the future',provided a forum for further discussions between employees and stakeholders, resulting in the construction of the key elements of the proposed plan:.
1. 2 Analytical assumptions On the basis of this discussion, we argue that research priority-setting may take the following (not mutually exclussive directions:
which are worth further discussion. To set up a more profound discussion of the configurattio of the three innovation systems we structure the rest of this paper as follows:
Section 2 reviews the literature on innovation systems. On the basis of the literature we conceptualize the configuration of the three innovation systems.

technology assessment. 1. Introduction Recent years have seen a great deal of discussion on how science, technology and innovation (STI) systems might be reoriented to better address several grand challenges that affect not only contemporary societies but also the future of human civilisation itself.
In this context, scenario work seems to allow fairly flexible frames for such overarching discussions, whereas a number of other methods are applied to develop future plans and action-oriented recommendations for decision-making.
The institutionalisation of FTA seems to generate intense discussion on the benefits and drawbacks of stronger integration in the policy processes.
The sub-sections that follow begin with a discussion of the considerations and choices concerning the exercise's design,
The discussion aims to open a perspective on how policy development can be facilitated in a dynamic context of societal challenges and enabling technologies.
The second step was a discussion workshop on the core themes of the process. The third step was the selecctio of the relevant themes for the actual roadmapping process.
and industrial leaders on the basis of different criteria. 26 Those issues that were evaluated favourably on the different criteria were prioritised for discussion in a series of four workshops.
and capabilities as an integral part of programming. 4. Discussion Building on our experiences from the case studies,
The analysis and discussion may be of similar relevance to forms of transnational research programming between nations outside Europe
not only to search for signals in officially published documents and reports but also to exploit relevant discussions in blogs and micro-blogs (as Twitter),
the assessment of discussions can be an interesttin way in which to collect signals. Conferences may also be particularly interesting for making contact with future-oriented experts as well as policy-makers in the relevant domains.
These triggered the discussions that followed. After discussing the issues participants were asked to vote on the terms of the perceived impact, plausibility, novelty, policy relevance and strength of each of the emerging issues.

and outlining them for further analysis..Bilateral and collective discussions between experts and JRC-IPTS helped to synthesize relevant issues into an interim report.
This discussion was the basis for reaching agreement on the final three overarcchin challenges at the end of the workshop.
In its approach, the workshop evolved from a loosely structured discussion of issues resulting from the scanning of reports to a collective sense-making process that focused on how such issues could be brought together into crosscutting challenges
This enhanced the existing discussion about challenges and needs-oriented approaches versus a science and technology push.
