WEB 2.0 FORESIGHT FOR INNOVATION POLICY: A CASE OF STRATEGIC AGENDA SETTING IN EUROPEAN INNOVATION

The use of web 2.0 in shaping and implementing public sector innovation policies is rather unexplored. Private sector innovation practice in web 2.0 suggests a good potential for reshaping innovation policy processes from top down to more bottom-up approaches, building on low cost access to collaborative spaces of knowledge. By way of analysing a recent web 2.0 foresight project attached to European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), we explore how the application of web 2.0 process influences on the widely applied For-Learn Foresight Cycle and more in general on the design and management of foresight projects. The paper also identifies implications for policy-making and avenues for future research.
