A Foresight Exercise on Emerging Patterns of Innovation
Several new ways of organising innovation activities such as open innovation, crowdsourcing or community innovation are currently emerging in economy and society. While these have been discussed intensively in recent years, there is little systematic exploration of their potential for different sectors and areas and the implications for economy and society. For the first time, a foresight project is conducted to analyse and discuss the formation and development of new innovation patterns and their implications for economy, society and policy. The project is funded within the 7. Framework Programme of the European Commission.
