Knowledge networks connect people and organizations to share, create, and value knowledge. They can grow from local communities to national ecosystems.
This Discussion Paper explores how knowledge networks can create more disruptive innovation and bridge knowledge gaps. It also examines the processes and conditions that facilitate knowledge sharing and creation in networks.
The summary article presents the outcomes of the Mutual Learning Exercise on R&I Foresight. From August 2022 to October 2023 participated countries collaborated to develop recommendations aimed at enhancing their R&I foresight systems. These recommendations focus on identifying and sharing best practices for establishing foresight capabilities, executing foresight projects, and leveraging foresight for the development of R&I policies.
The Discussion Paper focuses on knowledge valorisation intermediaries. The document summarises the rationale behind the role given to knowledge valorisation intermediaries in an open ecosystem, maps and analyses the landscape of established intermediaries, identifies the main policy challenges, and characterises new approaches and models adopted by conventional and novel intermediaries.
This Final Report assesses the current state of institutionalised R&I foresight and offers a plan to strengthen it in government. It highlights successful R&I foresight practices in the EU and participating countries, using these examples to guide the creation of a handbook with customized tools for R&I foresight in various policy contexts. The Report suggests collaborative efforts between Member States and the EU to improve R&I foresight in government, with a focus on futures literacy and related foresight studies as crucial elements.
This thematic report explores issues related to the application of foresight in the design and implementation of Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) and Mission-Oriented Innovation Policies (MOIP).
The report explores the relevance and role of the concept of disruptions in foresight with a focus on its application as a driving force for the twin transition framework.
This presentation includes all the slides presented by Alan Irwin and Margaret Gold at the dissemination event of the MLE Citizen Science in Stockholm on 16-17th May 2023.
This report gives an overview on the role of roadmaps and strategies at national level focusing on industrial decarbonisation, along with the initial ERA industrial technology roadmap. In addition, this report presents a summary of lessons learned from past roadmapping exercises at national level.
The Discussion Paper focuses on the research talents, capacity building and intersectoral mobility for knowledge valorisation. The Paper stresses the importance of recognising the incentives for researchers, necessary training for demand driven skills development and the challenges and recommendations to promote academia business cooperation, bi-directional intersectoral mobility.
This paper aims to identify and discuss good practices in the use of foresight to engage with citizens in R&I policy planning and programming and strengthening the role of civil society in the process of identifying research priorities.
