FTA 2018

FTA’2018 – Future-oriented technology analysis 2018 – “Future in the making” is the European’s Commission flagship conference. The conference is addressing future-oriented technology analysis (FTA), i.e. (strategic) foresight, forecasting, technology assessment and related areas. The FTA2018 conference also deals with areas complementing policy support, especially those that introduce innovation in the process of policy development and implementation: design for policy, behavioural insights, science and technology studies, and complexity approaches.

The MOVING strategy building background was presented at the event. The talk entitled: “Strategy building for a knowledge repository with a novel expert information fusion tool” was given by Professor Dr. Andrzej M.J. Skulimowski from PBF on 5^th June in the session C2 “Horizon Scanning & Beyond”. The conference was organised by the European Commission – DG JRC. The presentation focused on the project’s innovative approach to the MOVING platform’s visionary planning, the application of novel online tools such as the expert Delphi survey support system, anticipatory networks, and technological roadmapping. The talk included also an overview of a novel approach to ensure the sustainability of the MOVING digital knowledge platform. It provided an insight to the methodology of multicriteria platform exploitation assessment developed within the project. The ultimate goal of strategic planning was to select a development strategy ensuring the viability and sustainable exploitation of the MOVING platform during the project durability period and beyond.
