v) identification of research areas and instruments that are needed to improve competitiveness and sustainability of the forest cluster,
Within the WP for strategic activities, the tasks for the shaping of research agendas are concerned with the identification of research areas that are relevant for European cooperation.
consisting of four research areas and 23 sub-areas. 6 Stakeholder participation, too, was based on the definition of explicit roles and responsibilities for the different phases of the process.
as well as by the treatment of research areas and research themes as relevant‘units of analysis'that experts could be assessed with the Internet-based decision support tool.
thus on several occasions to the Steering Group of 6 These research areas and sub-areas are listed on page http://www. woodwisdom. tkk. fi/task1. htm. 487 V. Brummer et al./
For the purpose of information management, Researchers were asked to indicate which research area and sub-area the issue would fit best within a taxonomical framework that was developed for the research issues.
This structure differed somewhat from the framework that was employed in the structuring of research areas and sub-areas.
whereby all research areas and sub-areas that were relevant to the workshop were covered. Within each sub-area

research areas are based around the perceived functions for cell handling and analysis conducted today in a macro-scale laboratory:(
and (6) Analysis. Relevant research for instrumentation and approaches for each of these stages is positioned in the proof of principle section (phase 1) of the innovation chain shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Such areas of research have proliferated over the last 10 years 53,54.
Research interests include the areas of research evaluation and impact assessment, foresight, national innovation systems and policies, scientific advice for policy-making and risk governance.

He is head of the research areas In services Management and Personal Management. Philine Warnke is scientific project manager in the Competence Center Innovation and Technology management and Foresight at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation research in Karlsruhe, Germany.
For those wishing to enable beneficial technology applications stemming from potentially breakthrough areas of science and technology, such as nanotechnology,
The context is not related to any particular understanding of science or technological development but to powers and political interests in the affected areas of science and technology;
Both national research councils and research programmes often channel money to new and important emerging research areas and topics.
were asked to write papers about their vision of developments in their research areas, to be used as input to the strategy process.
The vision papers were to cover all areas of science and technology research. The authors came primarily from public research institutiions and also from industry.
and discussed the different areas of research in science and technology, building on, among other things, the vision papers.
Therefore, the strategic areas can to some extent be seen as representing the main areas of research in science and technology,
and on the different sub-areas of research, the plan for 2003 2007 emphasised the difference that science
The Technical research Council plan mentions that its strategy is about prioritising areas of science with special importance for society during the next 10 20 years.
Technical research Council Energy research programme The strategy of covering all existing research areas: supporting existing areas, the opposite of priority setting The strategy of new technologies:
priority-setting goes beyond selecting between areas of science and technology: to develop measures and instruments are also important issues in research strategies.
His main areas of research are technology foresight, strategy in science and innovation, technological innovation, the interaction between industry and science,

Picking up on the OECD distinction between different levels of priorities (i e. policy, strategic and operational), the MCHER should have been interested naturally in Level 2 of the schema research areas.
the exercise was only able to identify Level 2 research area priorities insofar as Level 3 research domain prioritisation implied them.
Rather than further prioritise the 18 (Level 3) research domain areas, 11 the natural FNR response was to provide the MCHER with a list of six (Level 2) research areas (essentially headings) under
it is necessary to take into account recurring discussions in Luxembourg on the need to identify Table 2. National research priorities in the shape of research areas and research domains.
National priorities National priorities (Research areas)( Research domains) Innovation in services Business service design and innovation Fostering the economic and legal environment for Innovation performance and development of the financial systems
Thus, the expectation of the MCHER was for the exercise to identify a much smaller number of research areas/domains perhaps just two
Options for translating these goals into specific measures can be conceived along the lines of the main determinants of innovation ranging from push factors in the area of science (e g.
He studied economics and has been doing research and foresight projects in the area of research, technoloog and innovation policy, in particular related to regional and technological innovation systems such as transport and energy.
Theoretical background This paper is inspired by three research areas addressing foresight as a sociopolitical phenomenon around the millennial turn.
and guidance literature interact with research areas of science and technology studies (STS), especially regarding insights about the relationships between‘given facts and future values'.
o another indicator of how hot a research area is the ratio of conference to journal publication relatively low for this subtopic in comparison to the larger research domain we might want to explore this discrepancy with our subject experts,
complemented by a thematic perspective focussing on a given field of research area. Barre''s analytical perspective builds on various theoretical concepts:
Like all these genomic research areas, plant genomics draws heavily on bioinformatics and is linked with environmental research.

This highlights the fact that innovation is not simply a sequential progression from the areas of science
is responsible for European cooperation and for coordinating foresight activities as well as the research area on sustainable energy systems at the ZHAW Institute of Sustainable development.
Anticipation occurs in many more domains, in particular, in areas of science and technology, which are predicated on ideas of progress.
Delphi deals with a variety of areas of science, technology and society, and therefore it contains events that are expected to make an implicit contribution
It provides key areas of science and technology for addressing the challenges, looking at things holistically. However neither the relationship among events nor the necessary coordination or cooperation among them is mentioned.
and requirements of stakeholders and research areas there are recurring patterns in the context of research policy making that can be structured in a seven-step framework shown in Figure 1 and described in the following sections. 4. 1 Step 1:
and the research areas that will be required to address the challenges and meet the opportunities''(Project Terms of Reference).
if this structured analysis could be applied more broadly across different geographic regions or across research areas in foresight reports.
This area of research might contain useful techniques for further reducing the results and supporting the interpretation.
Hence, the social dimension in innovation should be acknowledged as a legitimate research area and linkages with social systems of innovation and social innovation stakeholders should be strengthened
Thirdly, we want to emphasize that the social dimension in innovation systems should be acknowledged as a legitimate research area
Efforts to identify promising areas of science and technology as early as possible have given rise to efforts to monitor emerging technologies on a global scale.

Current EU programmes and initiatives mainly exploit the informing role of FTA in knowledge development and in providing guidance for direction or prioritisation of research areas and themes.
The categories of grand challenges identified by theeuropean Research area (ERA) Rationales Expert Group (European commission 2008) provide one typology of transformations.

The 2002 foresight exercise had explicitly set out to identify priority areas of science for ICSU to focus upon in its new strategic plan (ICSU 2006.
