Foresight OutputsIntelligence on Foresight and IST SceneRTD policy priority analysis of variable granularity.
• Scenario Workshop – Innovative Information Society e.g. “user-centred” innovation
• Delphi – key applications for EU goals e.g. education and learning
• Trajectories and Capabilities – key underpinning S&T e.g. flexible embedded communications capabilities, profiling and tagging systems
All need to be taken into account – IS policy is multilevel, multidomain policy.

Critical Issues
• FISTERA produced considerable volume of original output, reviewed well and attracting much interest (?few surprises?)
• Problems with integration and synthesis of different WPs, low flexibility of working arrangements (several efforts in final publications)
• Limited interaction with key end-users (e.g. ISTAG) (? novel Foresight remained rather abstract?)
