Our Foresight methodology should be inclusive from the early stages of the foresight project We have to do all our best to involve “Authority” (both formal and academic) should be involved at every stage of the process We have to be Focused on the inclusiveness of foresight (rather than scientific depth) Provide shared strategic visions that are to be used in the development of the National RDI Strategy Defining the strategic and specific objectives for the Romanian RDI system for the period 2007-2013;Principles of Foresight Design
THE FOUR PILLARS OF ROMANIAN S&T FORESICHT RESULTS Foresight into the R&D System with the time horizon 2020, particularized for 2013 Suggestions on the fields of S&T on which Romanian R&D System should focus. • PROBLEMS Fragmentation within the system / lack of cohesion Need for planning the effective use of structural funds Low level of science – society dialogue ANALYSIS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC NEEDS present - medium term future ANALYSIS OF THE R&D SYSTEM present - medium term future MOST PROMISING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH present STRATEGIC VISIONS present - medium term future Romanian Foresight Architecture
Analysis of socio-economic needs Panel 1: Information Society Technologies Panel 2: Competitiveness through innovation Panel 3: Quality of life Panel 4: Social and cultural dynamics Panel 5: Sustainable development Analysis of theRDI system Panel 6: Institutional building of the National RDI System in the knowledge society Most promising scientific research Panel 7: Science, frontier science, knowledge development Foresight Structure
METHODS Desk research Workshops Interviews with stakeholders PARTICIPATION Core experts Invited stakeholders RESULTS A primary set of possible priorities for the RDI system (50 – 80) for each panel Concept of an open workshop conference, with 3 parallel streams for each panel – the panel assumes the role of a scientific committee Institutional Dialogue

Conclusions or …questions(!?) How we make Romanian Academy involved as core project partner? How we manage to have a high rate of responds to our survey? How we managed the risk associated with the lack of practical experience an the lack of real possibility to involve international experts? How we make policy makers involved? …….
