FARHORIZON - Use of foresight to align research with longer term policy needs in Europe
Implementation period: 2008.09.01 – 2011.02.28
The aim of this project is to pilot the use of foresight to align strategic and applied research with longer-term policy needs in Europe. It addresses a perceived gap in alignment under present arrangements and also argues that to develop, the European system needs a more content-oriented approach. It seeks to advance knowledge on: 1) Differences across policy domains in the European Research and Innovation Ecosystem (also further articulating this concept) in terms of the role and the integration of research agendas in long-term policies and vice-versa; and 2) Appropriate foresight designs needed to get engagement and secure follow-up across policy domains/areas.
