Research for Environment and Sustainabilityhttp://ew.eea.europa.eu/research/drivers/technologyResearch foresight (useful links: EEA scenarios public web site; Envirowindows scenario web site) This project is coordinated (Project Team) and supported by the European Environment Agency and its Scientific Committee. Project aim: Aim of the project is to produce a challenging and long-term vision to support the formulation of Research agendas for Environmental Sustainability. Project report: Literature review of EU foreseight studies and networks and megatrends of reserach foresight drivers Project Objectives: The objectives of this EEA project initiated by the EEA Scientific committee are to: review existing research foresight initiatives within the STEEP framework (Social, Technollogy, Economy, Environment, Policy) analyse mega trends, uncertainties and surprises of relevance for exploratory research; produce a research outlook with a long term perspective (20 years) based on a judgement of experts within and outside the EEA scientific committee, also based on EEA assessments and outlooks, and; clarify and demonstrate the importance of such research outlooks for EEA integrated assessments. The project will make a contribution to the Bridging the gap conference during the Slovenian EU Presidency Spring 2008 Project outputs will include: The evidence base for the projects analysis will include EEA's own integrated assessments and outlooks, ongoing foresight studies mainly financed by DG research, science and policy reviews; modelling studies; and the result of expert consultation Visions of the future - underpinned by an understanding of the key drivers Analysis of policy options for key challenges A plan of action to take forward the findings of the project involving leading stakeholders. Project process: Identification of mega trends in accordance with the STEEP model (Social, Technological, Environmental, Economical and Political drivers) - (Spring 2007) Analysis and identifications of research gaps (summer-winter 2007) Consultation (early 2008) The findings of the project will make a contribution to the Bridging the gap conference during the Slovenian EU Presidency Spring 2008<div> Research foresight </div> <div> (useful links: <a href="http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/scenarios">EEA scenarios public web site</a>; <a href="http://scenarios.ew.eea.europa.eu/">Envirowindows scenario web site</a>) </div> This project is coordinated (<a href="contacts">Project Team</a>) and supported by the European Environment Agency and its <a href="http://www.eea.europa.eu/organisation/scientific-committee">Scientific Committee</a>. <div> Project aim: </div> <div> Aim of the project is to produce a challenging and long-term vision to support the formulation of Research agendas for Environmental Sustainability. </div> <a href="info_resources/reports/Final_Literature_Review_Report_FINNov07_9473.pdf">Project report: Literature review of EU foreseight studies and networks and megatrends of reserach foresight drivers</a> <div> Project Objectives: </div> <div> The objectives of this EEA project initiated by the EEA Scientific committee are to: </div> <ul> <li>review existing research foresight initiatives </li> <li>within the STEEP framework (Social, Technollogy, Economy, Environment, Policy) analyse mega trends, uncertainties and surprises of relevance for exploratory research;</li> <li>produce a research outlook with a long term perspective (20 years) based on a judgement of experts within and outside the EEA scientific committee, also based on EEA assessments and outlooks, and;</li> <li> clarify and demonstrate the importance of such research outlooks for EEA integrated assessments. </li> </ul> The project will make a contribution to the Bridging the gap conference during the Slovenian EU Presidency Spring 2008 <div> Project outputs will include: </div> <ul> <li>The evidence base for the projects analysis will include EEA's own integrated assessments and outlooks, ongoing foresight studies mainly financed by DG research, science and policy reviews; modelling studies; and the result of expert consultation</li> <li> <div> Visions of the future - underpinned by an understanding of the key drivers </div> </li> <li> <div> Analysis of policy options for key challenges </div> </li> <li> <div> A plan of action to take forward the findings of the project involving leading stakeholders. </div> </li> </ul> Project process: <ol> <li>Identification of mega trends in accordance with the STEEP model (Social, Technological, Environmental, Economical and Political drivers) - (Spring 2007)</li> <li>Analysis and identifications of research gaps (summer-winter 2007)</li> <li>Consultation (early 2008)</li> <li> The findings of the project will make a contribution to the Bridging the gap conference during the Slovenian EU Presidency Spring 2008 </li> </ol> http://ew.eea.europa.eu/research/drivers/technology2013-05-21T08:31:55ZResearch for Environment and Sustainabilityenhttp://ew.eea.europa.eu/research/drivers/technology/url388140Science and Technology Foresight (European Commission - Research DG)Development of research/innovation policies.
