In each country, thenational Coordinators identified one representative from wood-material-based industry and one member of the research community and invited these to the workshops.
which is accepted now widely by the research community. A systematic and strategic approach to develop standards for the service sector was initiated in Germany in the year 2000 with a large project Service Standards for Global Markets funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research 34.

as well as a future-oriented survey exploring future visions of relevant national actors like industries, policy-makers and politicians, research community and future generations,
and research programmes. 2. Foresight and strategy processes in Research strategy and priority-setting processes have probably always been used by research communities,
Hence, foresight challenges traditional-thinking (or Mode 1-oriented) research communities in at least two ways. First, foresight exercises include future societal and economic needs and possibilities in the setting of priorities.
Therefore, it seems obvious why many traditional research communities take a reluctant stance on foresight exercises. 2. 1. Rationale
Through this, they contribute to change and the development of newdirections for research institutions and for the research community in general.
Itwas not expected that the 2003 2007 planwould have a mediating and coordinating role in the research community or internally within the research council.
at least to some extent, had the effect of coordinating and giving direction to the research community.
The latter was combined with the findings of interviews to generate an initiallong-list'of topics to be tested'by the research community.
Finally, there is the research community, which not only submits proposals, but also shapes the detail of programmes and their calls.
the FNR first issued a call to the research community to submit ideas for new programmes.
The research community's ideas were dismissed therefore and the proposed foresight exercise was given the go-ahead by the Board,
These adaptations in approach and scope were sometimes misunderstood by the FNR Board and led also to a considerable amount of confusion in the research community.
the research community had difficulties relating to the ranked research domains being offered by the consultants, even though the list was derived almost solely from the responses of that same community to the online survey. 10 In the subsequent workshops held in Phase 2,
In the case of FNR Foresight, these include the FNR itself, the MCHER, the research community and, to a lesser extent, the business community.
Within the research community, the reputation of the FNR in matters of transparency and openness was enhanced further,
thus familiarising the wider public with the stakeholders as well as with the role of science in a modern society. 6. 3. Impacts on the research community As mentioned in the previous section,
the research community amongst others has been challenged to rethink the way in which it serves the broader needs of society.
