Download or read book Science Technology and Innovation Policy for the Future written by Dirk Meissner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book gives practical guidance for policy makers, analysts and researchers on how to make the most of the potential of Foresight studies. Based on the concept of evidence-based policy-making, Foresight studies are common practice in many countries and are commonly understood as a supportive tool in designing future-oriented strategies. The book outlines approaches and experiences of integrating such Foresight studies in the making and implementation of science, technology and innovation (STI) policies at different national levels. It delivers insights into practical approaches of developing STI policy measures oriented towards future societal and technological challenges based on evidence drawn from comparable policy measures worldwide. Authors from leading academic institutions, international organizations and national governments provide a sound theoretical foundation and framework as well as checklists and guidelines for leveraging the potential impact of STI policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and technology policy is widely recognized as a critically important sphere of state activity. This book presents an authoritative overview of comparative research on science and technology policy in order to illuminate the choices that confront decision makers in this field. With contributions from various disciplines including economics, political science, law and science and technology studies, the selection of articles reflects both traditional perspectives and those which challenge conventional assumptions. The book covers such topics as the relationship between science and the state, and comparisons of how different governments seek to support and regulate scientific research, technology, industrial innovation and global competitiveness. Finally it looks at how international influences can affect national policies.

Download or read book Capturing Change in Science Technology and Innovation written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1950s, under congressional mandate, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) - through its National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) and predecessor agencies - has produced regularly updated measures of research and development expenditures, employment and training in science and engineering, and other indicators of the state of U.S. science and technology. A more recent focus has been on measuring innovation in the corporate sector. NCSES collects its own data on science, technology, and innovation (STI) activities and also incorporates data from other agencies to produce indicators that are used for monitoring purposes - including comparisons among sectors, regions, and with other countries - and for identifying trends that may require policy attention and generate research needs. NCSES also provides extensive tabulations and microdata files for in-depth analysis. Capturing Change in Science, Technology, and Innovation assesses and provides recommendations regarding the need for revised, refocused, and newly developed indicators of STI activities that would enable NCSES to respond to changing policy concerns. This report also identifies and assesses both existing and potential data resources and tools that NCSES could exploit to further develop its indicators program. Finally, the report considers strategic pathways for NCSES to move forward with an improved STI indicators program. The recommendations offered in Capturing Change in Science, Technology, and Innovation are intended to serve as the basis for a strategic program of work that will enhance NCSES's ability to produce indicators that capture change in science, technology, and innovation to inform policy and optimally meet the needs of its user community.
Download or read book Catastrophe written by Richard A. Posner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-11 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catastrophic risks are much greater than is commonly appreciated. Collision with an asteroid, runaway global warming, voraciously replicating nanomachines, a pandemic of gene-spliced smallpox launched by bioterrorists, and a world-ending accident in a high-energy particle accelerator, are among the possible extinction events that are sufficiently likely to warrant careful study. How should we respond to events that, for a variety of psychological and cultural reasons, we find it hard to wrap our minds around? Posner argues that realism about science and scientists, innovative applications of cost-benefit analysis, a scientifically literate legal profession, unprecedented international cooperation, and a pragmatic attitude toward civil liberties are among the keys to coping effectively with the catastrophic risks.
Download or read book Science and Technology Planning and Policy written by Feruccio Bilich and published by Elsevier Science & Technology. This book was released on 1989 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to discuss the various concepts, techniques, models and methodologies that will allow focused planning of science and technology policy from a system's point of view, i.e. taking into consideration all the relevant aspects. It fulfills a gap in the existing literature on science and technology because it explains why, when and how to carry out the planning process in a methodological and analytical manner. Science and technology strategies and policies are discussed within a conceptual framework and their impact both in global terms and in specific terms when analysing industrialized market economies, centrally planned economies, semi-industrialized economies and developing economies. The book reveals how to identify, compare and design scientific and technological strategies and policies to be carried out by a planner decision maker, organization, country etc. It contains not only the description of the important aspects of the scientific and technological system of different countries, but also presents several measures and data permitting the analysis and comparison of the scientific and technological strategies and policies for these countries.
Download or read book Strategic Analysis in Support of International Policy Making written by Thomas Juneau and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims to improve our understanding of what it means to create high-quality analytical products by focusing on the concept of relevance for policy-makers. Despite variations in context, strategic analysts in different sectors (in both intelligence and non-intelligence government organizations, private consultancies, think tanks, and academia) face similar problems in identifying the needs of their clients and setting up organizations with the mandates, structures, and personnel necessary to address those needs. The objective is therefore to identify these common challenges, compare solutions, and share lessons learned. To do so, broader thematic reflections on strategic analysis are combined with innovative case studies of how organizations have worked to successfully produce relevant analysis. The first section explores challenges to achieving relevance at the level of the analyst, while the remainder of the book analyses cases at the level of organizations.
