but have little effect because of the lock in enabling technology development but constraining comparative selector input..Some issues of workers safety voiced but related to non-nano issues
as nano is an enabling technology, and just contributes to the functioning of a large system. Key question:
Nanotechnology is seen as an enabling technology, which means that it enables different industries to improve their products,
Enabling technologies often have no direct easily recognisable connection with applications which makes it difficult to even determine relevant impact categories.
but especially for emerging enabling technologies. The principle of taking into account the knowledge about presumed

Many activities that are considered as nanotechnology are closer to R&d for enabling technologies than they are embedded in a product (or process) development,
and long term) and roadmap layers (such as drivers, markets, and enabling technologies). In the systemic context, roadmapping refers to a continuous and transparent process, not a single exercise,
to identify logical temporal sequences in a specific roadmap layer, such as enabling technology. Downloaded by University of Bucharest at 05:05 03 december 2014 Systemic transformation, anticipatory culture,

and in spreading the idea that nanotechnology would become one of the key enabling technologies of the 21st century.
bio-economy and enabling technologies convergence were completed that could have influenced the policy agenda had there been a policy receptor most of these having been displaced by a highly centralized politically managed priorities exercise
Converging technologies are enabling technologies and knowledge systems that enable each other in pursuit of a common goal Biosecurity
and it combines analysis of enabling technologies, applications, products, markets and drivers with empirical analysis of the policy instruments that are utilised currently.
The case studies reflect on how the policy perspectives can be constructed in a dynamic context of societal drivers, solution and market development, and enabling technologies.
IPRM integrates the approach of technology roadmapping including such contents as enabling technologies, applications, products, markets and drivers with the perspectives of systemic policies and policy instruments.
The discussion aims to open a perspective on how policy development can be facilitated in a dynamic context of societal challenges and enabling technologies.
actor assemblages, enabling technologies and related infrastrucctures a temporal scope of the system (e g. what is short-term,
in some cases it is enough to map just the enabling technologies, yet in some cases the market development and actors play more imporrtan roles.
but in some cases it is also possible to map the convergence of enabling technologies. The advantage of this practice is that the enabling technologies are assessed also as evolving constructs
and not as singular‘black boxes'.'The third possible roadmap level accentuates needs and market developments both the market segments and geograpphica market regions that are important for the technology-based solutions under scrutiny.

At present, one of the most importaan enabling technologies is 3d and product model technologies, like building information models.
In materials, a key present enabling technology is advanced materials and energy efficient lighting solutions (e g. LED. In the long term, the use of low-energy technologies and energy efficient, flexible lighting solutions (e g.

The aim of the case studies was to reflect on how the policy perspectives can be constructed in a dynamic context of societal drivers, solution and market development, and enabling technologies.
In addition, TNO has‘enabling technologies'programmes..VTT, the Finnish research organisation, has a rather centralised research and technology development portfolio development.
