Aims and Idea of Luxembourg Foresight Identification of a limited number of national priorities in public research (promising topics with future RTD potential) Identify how public research can address needs and demands of public, business, and society. Idea: Based on the input from Phase I: For each of the 6 fields identified in phase 1, an expert panel will meet twice in phase 2 of the Foresight provide thematic input papers for each workshop prepare and facilitate the workshops provide for the workshops´ output

Schedule Research priorities Implementation issues Final Report WS_2 Research priorities Implementation issues Documentations Interim Report Question- naire WS_1 Develop future visions: Realistic goals for L. research Documentations Input Papers Launch Event Stake- holder WS Taking stock of L. research Identify challenges for L. economy & society 10/06 11/06 12/06 01/07 02/07 03/07

Methods Desk Research (on basis of Phase I input and additional analyses): State-of-the-art of the thematic fields Description of national and international context Definition of priority domains and their specific issues (technology performance matrix) Assessment of priority domains along key user oriented axes (society, industry/business, RTD) Assessment of priority domains against implementation/application feasibility (drivers and obstacles) Description of Research Priorities along (converging) domains First draft SWOT analysis: Strengths – Weaknesses – Opportunities –Threats 6 expert panels (interactive expert input from WS): Definition of needs and demands of Luxembourg public/business/society Refinement of SWOT analysis Possible and realistic goals (“vision”) within a 10 years time horizon Tentative prioritisation and Selection of Research Priorities

Six Panels to Thematic Fields Six thematic field (established in Phase 1) Environmental Sciences Information and Communication Technologies Physical Sciences and Engineering Law, Economy and Finance Life Sciences Social Sciences and Humanities Panel composition broad range of expertise on various aspects of the pertaining policy questions Researchers from L. public research Researchers from L. companies Stakeholders outside the public sector research community International experts Chair / Vice-Chair FNR supervisor Facilitators

Concept of the Input Papers The Input Paper gives a state-of-the-art of the thematic field within the national and international context as derived from baseline report and OECD innovation study. It will serve as background documentation for the first set of expert workshops to be held in November and December 2006 (WS_1). Definition and national context of the thematic field (state-of-the-art) Definition of priority domains and their specific issues (technology performance matrix) Assessment of priority domains along key user oriented axes (society, industry/business, RTD) Assessment of priority domains against implementation/application feasibility (drivers and obstacles) International context and competition level Outlook: Inspirational Statements and Questions

Agenda WS_1: “From Challenges to Lead Visions” Input presentation: results of questionnaire & thematic field matrix Luxembourg needs and demands: Stakeholder views (from stakeholder WS) Brainstorming: SWOT analysis – identification of bottlenecks Future vision: brainstorming on “headlines 2016” (working groups) Prioritisation on the level of thematic field and sub-domains Results (per thematic field) SWOT matrix for thematic field Realistic goal (vision) for thematic field and sub-domains Tentative prioritisation ICT research in LUX Strengths Weaknesses Options Threats

Concept of the Interim Report The Interim report is based on thematic field analyses and results of the first expert workshop WS_1. It gives an overall SWOT analysis for Luxembourg and a ranking of the related priority domains with future potential. It will serve as background documentation for the second set of expert workshops to be held in January and February 2007 (WS_2). Definition and bounding of the domain(s) National and international context Needs and demands of Luxembourg public/business/society SWOT analysis Possible and realistic goals (“vision”) within a 10 years time horizon Tentative prioritisation

Agenda WS_2: “Prioritisation & Implementation Issues” Input: Results of other panels (summary) / Interim report / overall SWOT Definition of Research Priorities Development of elements for a road map of the thematic field Selection of research priorities Results (per thematic field) Research priorities Ideas for implementation issues and funding instruments ICT/ Domain Telecommunications Sub-Goal / Measure Relevance Feasibility Secure Software for VoIP-Banking + ++

Expected Results Identification of a limited number of priorities in public research (promising topics with future RTD potential where budget increase is necessary) Identification how public research can address needs and demands of public, business, and society.

Expected Outputs in the Final Report The Final Report will focus the research priorities as derived from the previous work (reports and workshops). It shall integrate the users perspective and the application orientation. (A consolidated version of the interim report will be integrated.) Methodology Overview of Research Priorities - Definition of Research Priorities along users requirements - Definition of Research Priorities along (converging) domains Potential Priority axes (roadmap) for Luxembourg Description of national and international policy context (Lisbon etc) Implementation issues General conclusions
