This forced the topic coordinators of the process to formulate the future topics very precisely similar to a Delphi survey.

and future topics for BMBF were worked out in different papers. For this, a last assessment by the international Monitoring Panel (second wave of partly standardised interviews) took place to validate the results.

Traditionally, the Fraunhofer R&d portfolio has been technologydriiven A corporate Future topics process has been establisshe in order to foster a needs-oriented approach.

Five challennge were formulated subsequently to serve as a frame for the new Future topics programme. Within the prograamme institutes are called upon to form consortia

and strategically develop research themes across institutes (Fraunhofer Future topics). This process is repeated every three years (Klingner and Behlau 2008.

and strategic areas of excellence is the identification of specific strategic future topics at the corporate level,

the identification of strategic future topics that will produce future contract research markets for Fraunhofer; serving urgent societal needs;

institute consortia contributing to the future topics could apply for further internal and external funding. However, dedicated internal funding for each topic was not inherent in the process. 3. 3 Rationale for a new 2010 future-oriented process (demand-driven) The rationale of the Fraunhofer approach started with the assumption that there are obviously science
