Foresight is being used increasingly as an instrument for strategic policy making in the new Member States and Candidate Countries of the European Union. Opportunities and threats for Information Society Technologies (IST) in these countries are derived from an analysis of national strengths and weaknesses, and future scenarios are suggested.
This volume has been compiled by the FISTERA network as a contribution to the analysis of the development and requirements for IST foresight at European level. It also offers various viewponts on the prospects for IST in the new Member States and Candidate Countries. It sets out to answer questions like:
What are the commonalities and differences of research and development strategies, innovation strategies, foresight exercises in the different countries?
What is the self-perception of the new EU Member States and Candidate Countries on their respective status towards the Information Society and Knowledge-based Society?
What are the future IST scenarios in these countries?
