Synopsis: Field: Technological field:

These indicators allow the creation of comparisons between scientific and technological fields, between countries, organisations, and over time.

Within potential technological fields relevant for future regulation, regulation-relevant contents and possible stakeholders have to be identified,

Emerging irreversibilities are punctuations in the evolution of a technological field, which both guide and drive it.

basic scientific results at the level of the research groups can influence the level of the technological field,

political paradigms have changed, EU legislation and international competition leave less room for direct governmental activities in many technological fields.

As so-called, denabling technologies',they are technological prerequisites for numerous innovations in many technological fields from comparatively simple technologies for every day use (like cosmetics or pigments in paints),

the boundaries of the technological field were defined. The second phase, the SWOT analysis, identified trends in the national ICT business and research environment in the four Nordic countries.

Thus, appropriate RTDI policies which foster the development of NSTISS should cluster the network of actors, support the underlying logic of knowledge accumulaatio and exploitation in a particular technological field,

and encourage the production and innovation of a particular set of products. Indeed, new RTDI policies should be customized to deliberately match the different dynamics of different NSTISS
