This book explores how foresight studies can be systematically undertaken and used in this context. It explicates why and how methods like horizon scanning, scenario planning, and roadmapping should be applied when dealing with high levels of uncertainty. The scope of the book moves beyond “narrow” technology foresight, towards addressing systemic interrelations between social, technological, economic, environmental, and political systems. Applications of foresight tools to such fields as energy, cities, health, transportation, education, and sustainability are considered as well as enabling technologies including nano-, bio-, and information technologies and cognitive sciences. The approaches will be illustrated with specific actual cases.Science, Technology and Innovation Studies,2570-1509Economic policyManagementIndustrial managementPublic administrationOperations researchDecision makingR & D/Technology Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000Innovation/Technology Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000Public Administrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030Operations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Economic policy.Management.Industrial management.Public administration.Operations research.Decision making.R & D/Technology Policy.Innovation/Technology Management.Public Administration.Operations Research/Decision Theory.330Miles Ianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut32843Saritas Ozcanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSokolov Alexanderauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910254897503321Foresight for Science, Technology and Innovation1948528UNINA
