Panel 3. Setting Goals and Agendas Through Foresight and Participatory Processes

Dec 7, 2021 | 12:50 PM - 2:00 PM

Description

In the face of pandemics, climate emergencies, and the digital transformation, it has never been more important to develop anticipatory capacities and strategic intelligence for setting goals agendas for science, technology and governance. The future of both technology and society carries great uncertainty, so tools like anticipatory technology assessment and foresight will be critical, especially if we seek to innovate towards key challenges. ● What are the current gaps and needs in capacity for strategic intelligence for emerging technologies? ● What kinds of diverse actors and practices will better foster this intelligence?
