Blind et al. 2001) to highlight topics that should be assessed in science and technology. Megatrends are used also as a part of the evaluation in market studies and analysis (Frost and Sullivan, 2010.
and these topics were fostered by funding Fraunhofer-specific internal projects. This first approach was followed by a second process in 2008 (Klingner and Behlau 2008.
In this approach, the analysis of foresight studies was only a small work package followed by an internal survey to generate topics.
'At the end of the 2005 and 2008 FTA PROCESSES, 12 innovation topics, that became 12 Fraunhofer future topics were defined.
Defining the topics served as the background for the institutes to shape and develop the topics further:
it provided them with a kind of discussion platform. Equipped with roadmaps and claims for internal and external communication,
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
each future topic would be promoted and developed by at least one dedicated (and centrally funded) R&d project of significant size.
SINTEF does not have a formal process for defining tts overarching topics. The SINTEF research and technology development portfolio is defined at the level of the single institutes.
A necessary prerequisite for acceptance by the institutes is a sound and transparent method in selecting these topics.
As soon as such a topic is found, the most appropriate consortium will be chosen to carry out this project.
