Technology foresight in the Czech Republic

Abstract

The paper reports on the first technology foresight exercise conducted in the Czech Republic in the year 2001. Aim of the technology foresight was to identify priorities for the new "National Programme of Oriented Research" (NPOR) and to devise a suitable method of implementing and managing the new Programme. The proposed NRP consists of five thematic programmes, which are divided into 19 sub-programmes, which include 90 key research directions (key technologies or KRDs). The NPOR includes further three cross-cutting programmes which are divided into 19 cross-cutting sub-programmes (systematic measures). The results were achieved through a broad cooperation of several hundreds of leading representatives of research, industry, services, business, financing, state administration and other organisations who worked in panels and expert groups. Panel discussions were complemented by thorough SWOT analyses of key industrial sectors.
