“…The critical analysis of the existing published works of authors such as Daim et al (2012), Caetano, Amaral (2011), Ahlqvist et al (2012), Saritas, Aylen (2010), Eerola, Miles (2011), Lee et al (2012) also confirms the authors' observations in that respect. However, in the existing published works, the authors of this article have not come across a publication which at the same time offers best practices of the method application as well as useful guidelines for its possible practitioners.…”

Abstract. The aim of the article is to present the best practices of technology roadmapping application to the Polish foresight initiatives. The first part of the article is devoted to presentation of the conceptualisation of the best practices for the context of foresight studies and serves as the proposal of the possible criteria of technology roadmapping method benchmarking. In the second part of the article, there have been presented the results of technology roadmapping evaluation in the context of Polish foresight initiatives with the special emphasis on the best practices. The final part of the article offers recommendations for technology roadmapping application to foresight studies.

“…Therefore, the final roadmap was used to disseminate the results of the research to local authorities and to local citizens via public events such as a museum exhibition (the final roadmap can be found in Seebacher et al (2018) [53]). In this regard, roadmaps can be considered as "knowledge umbrellas" to depict the strategies of a specific system and to engage and empower people [54].…”

Roadmapping to Enhance Local Food Supply: Case Study of a City-Region in Austria

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Due to the current challenges of climate change, population growth in urban settlements and resource depletion, agri-food researchers have put an increasing emphasis on the sustainability transitions of food systems. In this regard, there has been an increasing interest in the local food supply of cities and their surrounding regions, as local food is considered to be a contributing factor toward more sustainable, resilient and just urban food systems. Based on this background, a roadmapping process was conducted to assess the status quo and to identify measures to enhance the local food supply in the city-region of Graz in Austria. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 47 stakeholders, analysed textual materials and calculated food carrying capacities. The obtained data served as input for a series of three workshops, where measures were derived. Our results suggest that cooperation among agri-food stakeholders should be facilitated by local decision makers in order to promote food from regional sources within the target area. Furthermore, smart technologies can help to scale-up local food supply schemes, and to track down food stocks and flows more efficiently. Besides, food policy councils and open food labs can help to incubate food product innovations and to support partnerships among agri-food stakeholders, including local small-scale farmers. In the future, engagement and empowerment processes with local food stakeholders should be addressed to enable transformational processes. Roadmaps can help to initiate such processes.

“…Various authors have also approached this challenge (Kroll, 2015a;Ortega-Argiles, 2012). Ahlqvist et al (2012) affirm that what differentiates between smart specialisation or RIS3 based industrial policies and traditional innovation arises out of this focus on entrepreneurial discovery. They convey how this represents a process of collective bottom-up reflection that attributes a key role to market forces and private actors, thus, those providing information on new activities and strategies for specialisation are able to return social and economic impacts on regions.…”

Innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3): Past, present and future research

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The recent change in the regional development strategy of the European Union (EU) results in an important need to study the terms of change and their respective implications. This study seeks, through a bibliometric analysis, to ascertain the developments taking place in studies on research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3) to identify shortcomings and opportunities for future research. This bibliometric review drew upon the Scopus database with the sample selected containing all the articles containing the keywords “Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation” or “RIS3.” This correspondingly reports how some authors maintain that the path the EU should take involves imitative innovation. Meanwhile, others propose that each region should specialise in those industries that are already established there and thus avoid targeting any areas they do not already know/specialise in. Our findings detail six clusters in RIS3 research, which help in contextualising the literature review: (a) business discovery; (b) smart specialisation; (c) innovation; (d) specialisation; (e) regional policies; and (f) regional development. This study furthermore sets out perspectives for future lines of research and correspondingly seeks to convey a vast theoretical basis that may serve as the point of departure for future studies.
