Creating spaces for dialogue between key players from different domains, with diverging views and experiences. Vision-building and consensus-building for considering
Shaping and defining dialogues on transformations and policy discussions on tackling these major changes, as well as research and innovation agendas to support these dialogues and policy discussions.
Innovation is both a source of, and possible key response to, disruptive transformations, if broadly conceived in technological, social, organisational and institutional terms.

and legitimate a chosen course of action through engagement and dialogue. The underlying claim is that innovation itself needs to be oriented along more sustainable pathways enabling transformations of socio-technical systems.
since the first edition of the International Seville Conference on Future-oriented technology analysis (FTA), there is still little dialogue
As such the paper aims to be a stimulus to further dialogue rather than providing an empirical stocktaking or a systematic and comprehensive review of literature.
Much can also be learnt from the experience that the field of foresight has developed in dialogue and communication in support of building trust amongst stakeholders.
In the longer term, the conditions must be created (through education, information sharing, cultural dialogue) for a more integrated community of FTA EXPERTS
and decision-making and by facilitating dialogues between various stakeholders 4. The value of the scenario exercise depends on the ways in
for example building a common platform for dialogue, a focus on consensus can take up too much resources 62,
Thus the scenario process can be seen as frame for dialogue, not to reach consensus but to recognize other parties'point of view.

Participatory formats such as dialogues on ethical legal and social aspects (ELSA) became more important only later on.
In addition, the term also encompasses new participatory types of future-oriented nanotechnology-related studies and activities, such as dialogues on ethical, legal and social aspects cf. 31.

These unrelated processes cover dialogues at the federal and state levels as well as stakeholder dialogues and processes of public understanding of science and technology 50.
The Nanokommission itself organized a dialogue where representatives of environmental and consumer organizations a women's association and a medical practitioners'organization, trade unions, churches, academia, industry and government bodies (such as federal ministries and agencies as well as ministries on the regional and state level) discussed their positions 51.

''Based on three case studies they suggest that FTA could help overcome some of the limitations of management approaches by setting up stakeholder dialogues
In this study, technology foresight was defined as‘‘dialogue activities and analyses of long-term developments in science, technology, economy and society with the aim of identifying technologies which may have economical and/or societal significance''29.

This phase consisted of dialogue meetings between the expert panel and the Strategic research Council, the Council for Independent Research, Individual Ministries,
The Research2015 process included foresight methods such as horizon scanning, expert panels, user panels, dialogue meetings, conferences and workshops.

This means that relevant stakeholders should be involved in some form of dialogue (methods vary) across different stages of the process to share their views regarding achievements and their meaning,

In spite of the terminological differences, a common, explicit focus is put on dialogue, co-production, societal learning, joint agenda-building, etc.
The established dialogue was important to increase the perception of democracy among those involved. Moreover
The established dialogue helped State representatives understand the need of building proper feedback mechanisms to continually capture
In turn, the link between citizens'expectations and desires collected via dialogue (phase 3) and feedback mechanisms (phase 4) did not generate new strategies (phase 1). Once such link could not materialise it was not possible to develop scenarios based upon strategic diagnosis (phase 2),
FTA has a long tradition in creating spaces for dialogue and in engaging different actors to confront views,
through processes and tools that enable spaces for inclusive dialogue to take place 40,44 46. Embedding this form of dialogue in the proposed system would
thus improve the ways in which stakeholders are perceived. Also the ways that they are involved in decision processes.
It builds upon the creation of spaces for dialogue and communication channels which allow a shared understanding of individual actors'capabilities, needs and perceptions,

For example, FTA can enable spaces for dialogue and interactions between actors to emerge, which can lead to the establishmeen of new linkages (as well as the disruption of existing ones.
