Technology Foresight Exercises and Subsequent Funding Allocation; Next-generation R&D; Evidence synthesis; Reproducibility; Research methodologyAbstract
There is real interest in technology foresight exercises and subsequent funding allocation right now, and real uncertainty about
exactly where it delivers the most value. We pull together the current evidence for technology foresight exercises and subsequent
funding allocation, covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has
genuinely settled and where engineers and reviewers are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific
adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
