“…The move towards a more 'inclusive' methodology made the foresight more transparent and useful for policymakers and resulted in the direct policy uptake of foresight results for the first time in South Korea (Schlossstein & Park 2006). According to Park & Son (2010) Delphi survey results, and future technology lists, whereas attention to process outcomes such as building collective visions and strategies and sharing knowledge is low.…”

“…The law made it mandatory to carry out a national technological foresight as a basis for formulating the 5-year plans. The Korean Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning (KISTEP) manages these foresights (Park & Son, 2010). Foresight is thus formally linked to innovation policy in South Korea (STEPI 2012).…”

“…, this third technology foresight reflects a movement, although limited, towards a systemic understanding of foresight and innovation due to the increased focus on social aspects and broader inclusion (policymakers, social scientists and citizens were involved, in comparison with earlier reliance on only natural scientists and engineers) that was intended to overcome the limited impact of the previous foresights(Park & Son 2010). In addition to the national technology foresights, 'technology road mapping' is widespread in South Korea.…”

are both based at KISTEP, Technology Foresight Division, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Heyoung Yang is Senior Research Fellow at KISTEP, Future Planning Division, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Abstract Purpose -The aim of this paper is to describe procedural characteristics of the 4th technology foresight (TF) using search engines to discover emerging issues; analytic framework development to discover future needs; future technologies considering future needs as well as technology development; detailed description of future technology; analytical discussions of Delphi survey results; developing spatial-specific scenarios and illustrations; and examining possible adverse effects of future technologies. Korea performs TF every 5 years to establish science and technology policy and strategies. In the 4th TF, future technologies that might be developed by 2035 were discovered and Delphi survey was conducted to examine current development status, anticipated times of technology development and public use, plans to secure these technologies, etc.Design/methodology/approach -This paper divides procedure employed in the 4th TF into three steps and explains seven characteristics related to its procedure. Findings -Improvement of the TF procedure will increase the reliability and applicability of its results. Originality/value -This paper consists of original results which include improved procedure and its implication by researchers who participated in the 4th TF. It will provide a useful example for other nations, hoping to introduce TF to set up national science and technology policy.

“…Technology foresight can make a unique strategic contribution to the policy maker as well as to social stakeholders, especially in the S&T related area. It is about promoting the national (or regional) competitiveness through thinking, debating, and shaping the future [6].…”

Abstract-Foresight projects have been used across the world in the process of anticipating the future by governments, regional authorities, companies and S&R institutes. Foresight, together with its specific research tools and terminology, is becoming increasingly important also in Poland. From nearly 50 foresight projects implemented in Poland most of them is related with the technology and research development. The key issue of foresight methodology is to identify the key technologies/priority line of research. The paper presents a methodology of selection of priority lines of research in nanotechnology at regional scale.Index Terms-Nanotechnology, priority line of research, technology foresight.
