Eye of Europe - The Research and Innovation foresight community

Project description

Fostering a foresight community for European R&I

Research and innovation (R&I) play a crucial role in creating, developing, and realising novel solutions and technologies. However, the institutionalisation of R&I across Europe exhibits diverse and uneven capabilities and levels of support, resulting in funding and resources that vary based on location. The EU-funded Eye of Europe project, recognising the necessity for improved foresight in R&I, aims to cultivate an R&I foresight community. This community seeks to enhance inclusivity through the involvement of experts and beneficiaries, fostering gradual integration through increased collaboration. The platform will be introduced and further developed in an online format, providing easy access to data and resources.

Objective

Eye of Europe responds to the existing need of anticipating, exploring and co-creating future paths in, for and from Research and Innovation (R&I). Acknowledging the diverse and uneven capabilities and levels of institutionalization of R&I foresight across Europe, our Consortium builds on the experience of its 17 partners in order to coagulate existing energies and amplify them.

The project’s goal is to nurture and mature an R&I foresight community with expanding levels of inclusiveness (from foresight experts, to foresight beneficiaries, to thematic experts and the broader audience of foresight enthusiasts, including civil society and citizens) and progressive levels of integration (from mapping organizations and experts, to sharing results, to developing shared capabilities, towards a collective intelligence).

To this end, the project methodology is aimed at (i) consolidating the mutual learning and sharing of practices among foresight practitioners and R&I policy-makers, (ii) harnessing the expertise of thematic experts for the benefit of the community, (iii) mobilizing stakeholders in joint pilot activities and (iv) engaging an active, broad audience in co-creating and deliberating future imaginaries. Operationally, the project will establish and advance an online platform as the strategic home base of the community, with its resources and capabilities; engage relevant stakeholders in tailored face-to-face interactions; and promote futures thinking through educational and inspirational materials.
