Horizon Scanning for Responsible Research and Innovation

The objective of the project is to create and apply a functional horizon scanning system aimed at monitoring and evaluating technological and social trends and their potential impacts.
Partial objectives of the project are:

• To create a system for collecting and processing structured and unstructured data and sorting and analysing them by using appropriate software tools.
• To create an IT platform for methodologically led expert discussion on identified technological trends, their potential impacts on society and individual segments of the Czech economy (e.g. domains of smart specialization) and on readiness to capture and absorb these technological trends.
• To verify the functionality of the system in the entrepreneurial discovery process while managing the National RIS3.
