and the discussion moved on to analyse broader issues, like knowledge (types and sources of knowledge), knowledge production and use,

and new issues are now in the centre of analysis, such as knowledge, knowledge production and use; learning, learning capabilities and learning systems;

Likewise, in terms of knowledge production, researchers form multi-disciplinary teams devoted to specific problems and specific contexts 12.

this knowledge is coupled with the institutional environment of distributed knowledge production. This review suggests an important avenue for research in this article, and in future research:

or the mode 2 of future knowledge production. The hierarchical random graph model is missing a model of the actor.

highlighting how modern knowledge production has changed from its classical form (Mode 1), characterised by discipline-oriented basic science in universities, to a new form (Mode 2), characterised by problem-driven, application-oriented and trans-disciplinary research taking place partly outside universities

and to improve its integration with leading centres of knowledge production from around the world. This is not to say that FNR support is without strategic direction;

which reflects the dynamics of knowledge production (for R&i) that are shaping the various techno-scientific fields.

and thereby shape the dynamics of knowledge production 11. The sectoral systems of innovation approach which is focussing on the characteristics of knowledge production has been complemented by analysis of the properties of application domains

and institutional context using the notion of socio-technical regimes (12,13, building inter alia on 14,15). In all these approaches to characterising innovation regimes the knowledge base plays a crucial role.‘‘

For some time now it has been suggested that insights from innovation systems research on the systemic nature of knowledge production should be taken into account by R&i policy to better target its instruments and approaches 16.

and dynamics of knowledge production which impact the state of play in each cell of the matrix, hence the proper Foresight design.

This may be due to a lack of sensitivity towards the dynamics of the innovation and production realmcompared to the academic knowledge production.

It is linked often to the concept of‘‘Mode 2''knowledge production (see Gibbons et al. 1994). ) The structurally open/structurally closed approach (see chapter 3) could be discussed within this context

The effect of expectations also depends on the social distance to knowledge production. Mackenzie (1990) describes in his study on guided nuclear missiles how the degree of uncertainty about the promised capabilities of the missile depends on the distance from the development itself.

when it concerns stakeholders at distance from the knowledge production. Third, the sociology of expectations claims that estimates of the future are rooted deeply in the developments

given the distributed nature of knowledge production, knowledge diffusion is an essential function of innovation systems. Diffusion may be mediated through networks for example,

research and innovation programmes Knowledge development Transformative shifts implied by solutions to grand challenges will need new knowledge as well as a new type of knowledge production.

This implies a type of knowledge production close to the so-called‘mode 2'(Nowotny et al. 2003) acknowledging the distributed nature of knowledge,
