Assessing the impact of the UK's evolving national foresight programme
by Luke Georghiou, Michael Keenan, Ian Miles
International Journal of Foresight and Innovation Policy (IJFIP), Vol. 6, No. 1/2/3, 2010

Abstract: The paper describes the evolution of the UK's National Foresight Programme through its three cycles of existence. It assesses the impacts of each stage, the first two in brief and the third in some detail, drawing upon a recently completed evaluation by PREST. Evolution is noted from an exercise aiming to set priorities and build networks as a broad instrument of science and innovation policy to a set of science-based discrete projects reaching across government. Questions are raised concerning how the programme has reacted (or not) to evaluation, and what lessons there are from the present stage.
