This holds for private firms as well as for government bodies. On the other hand, these debates are essential for consolidating forward-looking insights and making them effective in policy-making.

It introduces, among other things, a clear separation of responsibilities between the EC legislator and the European standards bodies CEN,

The European standards bodies have the task of drawing up the corresponding technical specifications meeting the essential requirements of the directives, compliance with

One rather new indicator 21 are released technical standards by formal standardisation bodies. Since standardisation is a kind of industry self regulation,

Blind 25 shows, based on international and inter-sectoral cross-section data, that the output of formal standardisation bodies can be explained significantly by the patent applications as a reliable indicator for the dynamics in the respective technologies.

Most efficient are assessed the requirement to use plain language when drafting regulations, the harmonisation and coordinnatio of the regulatory policies of different regulation bodies, the instalment of One-Stop Shops responsible for all regulation

Tools for assessment/alignment have been discussed in bodies of literatures as diverse and heterogeneous as: strategic management of S&t;

In the recruitment phase, the decision makers commission supported by the process facilitators a core team of approximately half a dozen representatives from the political decision making bodies

As members from the decision making body have participated in the core team a proper transmission of the facts and arguments gathered throughout the RIF process should be guaranteed 7. 4. Case study Kiesental In the following section,

The core team encompassed two representatives from the regional development association, one from each of the regional sanitation associations, plus one representative from the regulatory body of the cantonal water protection agency.

The affiliations of the core team members in the decision making bodies guaranteed the persistence of the argumentative structure in later stages of the planning process.

In the future, the mechanisms of ageing on the molecular level of the whole body and specially the brain will deliver new insights for cognition, emotions and psychomotoric or other concepts.

The internal decision bodies of the FNR were satisfied quite with the results presented at the end of the exercise

As such bodies tend to perform important governance functions they can be considered to be part of the organisation. 5. The following groupings were used:

Austria has accomplished major structural reforms, affecting universities as well as research funding bodies, many of which are located in Vienna.

With the regional research and innovation policy bodies being still in a process of emergence, several Viennese organisations were not able to tell with whom they would cooperate on joint actions.

These bodies set up an independent working group, involving nanoscience and engineering, social science, ethics, consumer protection and environmental interests.

Standards were traditionally set by public bodies. More recently, industry and retailers in some countries have taken independent initiatives to develop standards and health related schemes.

As a matter of fact, in the last few years territorial foresight has gathered increasing attention from various European public bodies.

Finally, the European foresight Platform, another European commission funded body, has made an intense effort to compile several regional foresight exercises within its Knowledge sharing Platform (European foresight Platform, 2011.

A careful choice of individuals to participate in the dialogue in the first place is beneficial A recurring example of the application of the RAP is the involvement of representatives of trade bodies in strategic dialogues.

The process should be constructed to make maximum use of the concentration of knowledge about one particular industry that such a trade body representative has.

However, the process also needs to take into account that trade body representatives have tied their hands in terms of changing their viewpoint during a dialogue

since they are answerable to the members of the trade body Bayesian learning This model describes the beliefs an individual has about the world

This information is not always readily available given the wide range of possible funding bodies as well as the fact that the subject of the strategic dialogue is likely to be novel

which are built upon as yet uncoordinated and dispersed bodies of knowledge. It has been documented well that the innovation process is interactive including a multitude of short-term and long-term feedback loops between the different stages of the innovation process 15,24.

It developed a fruitful collaboration between public bodies policy makers and companies. The devised Joint Vision and roadmaps,

The diversity of communication channels and the need for effective coordination between these three different levels emphasizes the importance of setting up a well-structured governance body for the whole exercise.

Conclusions This paper has outlined the contours of an emerging mission-led approach to innovation policy that is more global

As a consequence, the absorptive capacity in decision-making bodies needs to be enhanced, calling for a change in organisational culture.
