In the knowledge-value society, innovation, technology development, economic regeneration, openness to new ideas, and their active exploitation, are all inherent elements contributing to the basic values and culture of the society.
Openness and capability to exploit a wide range of expertise irrespective of its origin appear to be major factors here.

In the definition of a research consortium, openness and public access to the results of research collaborations were emphasised
Within the research community, the reputation of the FNR in matters of transparency and openness was enhanced further,

and could limit our openness to new insights. Thus reflexive knowledge might in the end confound our expectations.
where the openness extends through wider stakeholder involvement, a broad thematic perspective, an ongoing process, and a sensitivity to disruptive trends.

More openness and participation may further the social legitimacy of procedures at stake. So how does the practical reality of participation of social and economic agents
''It is shown that the openness-closedness dichotomy is highly important for the type of unintended effects that can be detected with a method.
does the structure of the method allow for a high degree in openness concerning the inclusion of parameters and linkages between parameters,
since this openness or closeness, which is determined by the underlying structure, is highly important for the type of unintended effects that can be anticipated. 3. 1 Structurally open methods This category comprises tools
The openness or closeness is determined by the degree of pre-structure in the design of such methods.
Emerging irreversibilities denote the first socio-cognitive patterns that decrease the fluidity and openness, and that, eventually constrain

is a partial structural openness that endorses flexibility in responding to the systemic flows, such as changes in the business environment or in the customer's innovation processes.
At the strategic level, the structural openness enables the combination of these different temporal dimensions.
as transparently as possible (structural openness), but it also needs to promote an explicit anticipatory agency that is built against explicit future visions.
Thus, the roadmapping exercise simultaneously fosters an anticipatory culture and structural openness through a systematic process and explicit visionary narrative.
Knowledge spaces and roadmap scopes How is it possible to combine the roadmapping methodology with the creation of structural openness, an anticipatory agency,

a structural openness for the adoption of new practices should be fostered. In addition, the field of construction machinery should actively endorse a kind of horizontal anticipatory agency, for example, through novel technology and services concepts,

In the capacity view, the project endorsed systemic openness towards future development options in the context of ICT,
Case conclusions and lessons learned All the case examples emphasise the roles of partial structural openness
The key systemic capacities in these cases emphasised especially the structural openness towards new technological impulses
1) partial structural openness and (2) a horizontal anticipatory culture based on an anticipatory agency. We presented a model of a process-based roadmap with four knowledge spaces,
The second insight is to endorse structural openness. This means to define a space of possibilities unfurled in the context of the core purpose.
Fostering structural openness and an anticipatory agency, as discussed would be especially beneficial in tackling these kinds of systemic challenges.

and iv) extended openness for diversity or prolonged divergence. Results indicate that a wide variety of hybrid value creation models with novel configurations of innovation actors emerged.

and openness, aiming at the assessment of diverging rather than converging elements of changing innovation patterns.
The inductive approach (focussing on signals of change at the micro level) and the extended openness for diversity are typical elements of weak signal scanning processes.
Policy-makers feel that future-oriented policy-making can thrive in a culture where openness and innovation are encouraged
it has propagated undoubtedly (re the belief that successful innovation requires openness, interaction and knowledge sharing. The nature of innovation in this new era is fundamentally different from the earlier technology push
However, the rooting and openness of foresight activities in the three networks varies significantly. The advantages that‘networked foresight'entails could be exploited to a much higher degree for the networks themselves, e g.,

Predominantly,
While the setting of WINN has undergone two major changes toward more openness the grounding and reasoning leading to these changes were not clearly identifiable.
Despite the communication of openness the management of WINN should embrace external partners to a higher degree. The partner network could be used to a higher degree within mid-to long-term foresight instruments
