  2. The Lisbon Strategy, set out in 2000, is a commitment to bring about economic, social and environmental renewal. • We, in Europe and Latvia, participate in a process to make the EU the world's most dynamic and competitive economy that will drive job creation alongside social and environmental policies to ensure sustainable development and social inclusion. This is the process towards Knowledge Societies of Europe.

  3. To Bridge Knowledge Society Foresight and Latvia By Dr Arturs Puga Forward Studies Unit, Riga

  4. WHAT IS KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY ? We can think about Knowledeg Society that it involves intersection of several interrelated trends We, our children lie and will live within intersection of these challenging trends and processes Why and how can we use Knowledge Society framework in research as well as in everyday’s practice? Knowledge Society thinking and research instrument – foresight activities

  5. ‘Foresight constitutes a systematic attempt to observe the long-term future of science, technology, society, the economy and their mutual interactions in order to generate knowledge with which to effectsocial, economic and environmental improvements based on well founded projections. However,it is not enough to establish a clear and efficient technology to conduct foresight. It isalso vitally important to ensure that foresight outcomes are taken into consideration in policy debates and decision making. Only in this way can its maximum benefits be obtained.’ EU foresight conference, Seville, 2002 Foresight – instrument for European policies, Lisbon strategy research and implementation

  9. In the context of its four-year work programme, Analysing and Anticipating Change toSupport Socio-Economic Progress 2001-2004, the European Foundation for the Improvementof Living and Working Conditions undertook a foresight project (EUFORIA) concerning theEuropean Knowledge Society. • The project was coordinated and led by PREST at theUniversity of Manchester, and the process was jointly managed with project partners inFinland (Futures Research Centre), in Germany (Empirica) and Greece (Atlantis).

  10. EU-US SEMINAR: NEW TECHNOLOGY FORESIGHT, FORECASTING & ASSESSMENT METHODS-Seville 13-14 May 2004XTREME EUFORIA: COMBINING FORESIGHT METHODSRafael Popper , Werner B. Korte • Project was designed to investigate a mix of living conditions, working conditions and industrialrelations with the purpose of identifying positive paths leading the EU15 countries towards aKnowledge Society (KS). • Within this context, EUFORIA was also linked to the Lisbonobjectives for the EU to become ‘the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-basedeconomy, capable of sustained economic growth with more and better jobs and greater socialcohesion.’ • The project’s three main objectives were to: (1) increase understanding of theforces shaping the evolution of the EU as a KS; (2) anticipate the potential impacts of the KSon living conditions, working conditions and industrial relations; and (3) identify and supportpaths to positive transformation (while avoiding those deemed to be unsatisfactory).

  17. Why and how can we use KS framework and KSF in everyday’s practice? • http://www.geocities.com/forwardstudies/FSsitemap2004.html • http://uk.geocities.com/arturspuga/EFN/augsa.html • http://arturspuga.blogspot.com

  18. The methods in the LNELS project • Environmental scanningBackground intelligence gatheringLiterature analysisPersonal interviewsStakeholders' mappingConferences/WorkshopsBrainstormingDelphiEuropean foresight best practice learning

  19. KS - Why and how? • To develop a mindset and to act taking into account Knowledge Society developments • To understand issues, processes and KSF tools, particular attention to KS language • To use KSF instruments online and in mental, physical space (thinking, researching, debates, workshops etc.)

  20. KS in a broad learning framework for a European citizen New fields of inquiries in the 21st century - to • research, • thinking, debating, shaping Knowledge Society • change and renewal

  21. Rethinking the Lisbon strategy way in Latvia, we propose a particular kind of entrepreneurial foresight ‘module’ – a sort of Basics derived from experienceand research. http://uk.geocities.com/arturspuga/EFN/augsa.html

  22. . • Reflection on interrelated trends and issues (we are within their intersection)can help to guide decision making related to the entrepreneurial mindset development, innovative learning and entrepreneurial actions

  23. . • Reflection on interrelated trends and issues (we are within their intersection)can help to guide decision making related to the entrepreneurial mindset development, innovative learning and entrepreneurial actions to help in political decision-making and implementation

  24. A bottom-up approach • By using and developing this model, a ‘learning European citizen’ can both anticipate themselves and interact with other humans, social actors and environment. • A framework suitable for future images, trends, maps, research, actions

  25. Knowledge Economy plus... • http://arturspuga.blogspot.com/2004/08/latvia-knowledge-economy-assessment.html

  26. Zināšanu ekonomikas 4 pilāri • Izglītības sistēma palīdz radīt zināšanām bagātu (orientētu uz pasaules līmeni ) humāno kapitālu • Ekonomiskais un institucionālais modelis veicina zināšanu pielietošanu uzņēmējdarbībā (visos sektoros) un high-tech izmantošanu industriālajā attīstībā • Nacionālā inovāciju sistēma vieno privātos uzņēmumus, universitātes, pētniecības centrus jaunu produktu un pakalpojumu radīšanā • Informācijas un komunikāciju sabiedrība spēj nodrošināt informācijas pārvadi un izkliedēšanu • http://arturspuga.blogspot.com/2004/08/latvia-knowledge-economy-assessment.html

  27. Discussion on education and science development in Latvia Latvian TV-1, August 18, 2004 “Kas notiek Latvijā?” – in Latvian • Using the EFB framework, we can better understand what is possible in Latvia in the mid-term future

  28. On a such foundation as EFB we can create a new virtual entity that would embrace • a process of interaction between individuals, organizations, enterprises; • opportunities to develop communities of practice; • innovative application of the Basics framework for thinking, knowledge (tacit and explicit) sharing, knowledge fusion and management aiming at possible futures for policies and strategies at all levels. • This initiative is called ENTREPRENEURIAL FORESIGHT NETWORK.

  29. For the EFN instruments and infrastructure we see the challenging blog technologies. They are innovative, cheap and users friendly, available for all, easy to learn and apply in everyday’’s practice. • the blog opportunities let not only have dialogues at so-called Ba space with thousands of men from the past, the present and the future, but also let in a moment to post information or creative outputs that perhaps are important and suitable for other networkers and many unknown people.

Stakeholders mapping as a means for finding champions, supporters and initiators for foresight activities (Latvia) • In: BLUEPRINTS FOR FORESIGHT ACTIONS IN REGIONS. FOR-RIS. Experiences and ideas for developing regional foresight in a RIS/ RITTS project context “Extension of already formulated regional innovationstrategies using foresight techniques, or conducting foresight in parallel with future strategicpolicy activities, can produce new alternatives of regional development and contribute to abetter development of regional knowledge infrastructure favouring the development regionaleconomy and quality of life.”

  32. HKSF • (p.10) "Knowledge Society” is one term that has been introduced in attempts to characterise some of the main developments in industrial societies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.""...a useful way of thinking about Knowledge Society (KS) is that it involves the intersection of several related trends."
