Aims and Idea of Luxembourg Foresight
• AimsAims Identification of a limited number of national priorities in public research
(promising topics with future RTD potential)
Identify how public research can address needs and demands of public, business,
and society.
• Idea: Idea: Based on the input from Phase I:
For each of the 6 fields identified in phase 1, an expert panel will meet twice in

Concept of the Input Papers
The Input Paper gives a state-of-the-art of the thematic field within the national and international context as derived from baseline report and OECD innovation study. It will serve as background documentation for the first set of expert workshops to be held in November and December 2006 (WS_1).
1. Definition and national context of the thematic field (state-of-the-art)
2. Definition of priority domains and their specific issues (technology performance matrix)
3. Assessment of priority domains along key user oriented axes (society, industry/business, RTD)
4. Assessment of priority domains against implementation/application feasibility (drivers and obstacles)
5. International context and competition level
6. Outlook: Inspirational Statements and Questions

Agenda WS_1: “From Challenges to Lead Visions” Agenda
• Input presentation: results of questionnaire & thematic field matrix
• Luxembourg needs and demands: Stakeholder views (from stakeholder WS)
• Brainstorming: SWOT analysis – identification of bottlenecks
• Future vision: brainstorming on “headlines 2016” (working groups)
• Prioritisation on the level of thematic field and sub-domains
Results (per thematic field)
• SWOT matrix for thematic field
• Realistic goal (vision) for thematic field and sub-domains
• Tentative prioritisation
Strengths Weaknesses
Options Threats
ICT research in LUX

Concept of the Interim Report
The Interim report is based on thematic field analyses and results of the first expert workshop WS_1. It gives an overall SWOT analysis for Luxembourg and a ranking of the related priority domains with future potential.
It will serve as background documentation for the second set of expert workshops to be held in January and February 2007 (WS_2).
• Definition and bounding of the domain(s)
• National and international context
• Needs and demands of Luxembourg public/business/society
• SWOT analysis
• Possible and realistic goals (“vision”) within a 10 years time horizon
• Tentative prioritisation

Agenda WS_2: “Prioritisation & Implementation Issues” Agenda
• Input: Results of other panels (summary) / Interim report / overall SWOT
• Definition of Research Priorities
• Development of elements for a road map of the thematic field
• Selection of research priorities
Results (per thematic field)
• Research priorities
• Ideas for implementation issues and funding instruments
Sub-Goal /
