  5. Trends Real world Build on scientific evidence & people‘s opinion to inform policy decisions Futures (Visions) Other factors than evidence Inspire Envision DESIGN Stakeholders Inform ScientificEvidence Policies (Re-)shape Policy makers IMPLEMENTATION / REVIEW Sense & Analyse data, Identify issues and challenges, Elicit knowledge Impact on individuals, society, economy, environment, politics, technologies,…

  6. Trend Every European Digital Meta-model to engage stakeholders 2012 2020 2050 Future • Futures: • Desirability (emotional view) • Likelihood (rational/scientific view) • Causality: antecedent->consequent • Forecasting vs. back casting Futures (visions) Future Future Future Future Future DAE Policy Policy Policies pillars actions • Policies: • Are expressed as S.M.A.R.T. objectives • May be structured (e.g. pillars) • Atomic level: timed actions • Have a measurable impact • Other measurable attributes (e.g. plausibility, innovation, …) p1 p7 p p A1 A101 A A A A A A • Agents: • Stakeholders in broad sense (EC, MS, Regions, Industry, Citizens…) • Implementers (those who execute the actions) • Verifiers • Decision makers A B C ? @ # Agents
