we want to develop foresight practices that properly reflect state-of-the-art innovation theory and are also able in turn to contribute to enhancing theoretic understanding of innovation.
Over the past few years, a number of general trends in foresight practices can be observed that reflect what could be regarded the mainstream of foresight.
and therefore we claim to provide here a novel integrative framework for taking on several of the main weaknesses of current foresight practice.
Although current foresight practices recognise the importance of client and policy orientation, the explicit inclusion of closed settings as part of foresight methodology is still uncommon among foresight practitioners,
as the participant group will evolve rather than be selected as in current Foresight practice. 4. 1. 3. Sources of knowledge 7. The heuristic nature of Inclusive foresight places special emphasis on all opinions.
Most foresight practice in Europe has been focussed on public policy making and especially policy making in science and technology
Also here the foresight practice offers procedures and tools. For example, Downloaded by University of Bucharest at 05:09 03 december 2014 Foresight
while a final section draws some summary conclusions and highlights lessons for future foresight practice. 2. STI Policy in Luxembourg Before the 1980s,
Brown, Rappert, andwebster (2000,4) have pointed out that from an STS point of view foresight practices are not so much about looking into the future,
) Foresight practices are often based on the assumption of shared values beyond dispute. This becomes a power-related issue
and use foresight practices and techniques for handling environmental uncertainty. He expands the understanding of environmental uncertainty by defining the concept of‘boundary uncertainty,
During the last decades, dedicated foresight practices have emerged and various approaches and tools have been developed and evaluated (Coates et al. 2001;
and use foresight practices and techniqque for handling environmental uncertainty. Our research is based on a multiple-case study of corporate organisations that recently faced major changes in their external environment and increasing turbulence.
In this vein, scholars focused on methodological issues regarding how to implement a large number of foresight practices and techniques.
there are some important implications for foresight practice in RTDI and grand challenges. Assessing how the research and innovation systems can address grand challenges can be done through bottom-up approaches.
The identified foresight practices are categorized according to their character, in this article scope, type and the impact of its results.
In the second phase, we examined the institutions viewed as having the best foresight practices and we conducted detailed phone

reflecting the theoretical premises of prevailing foresight practice with its emphasis on systemic aspects and networkking Papers with a strong emphasis on the innovation system, tend to also address other dimensions and their interplay with the coordination mode.
ICSU has been using foresight practices for some time to determine research priorities (Teixeira et al. 2002) and to develop mobilising visions of the orientation of whole research fields (ICSU 2010).
