Approach• Collect and analyse data:

– Indicators, scoreboard, trend analysis• Impact Assessments (mostly ex ante) potential IA areas:

– Nature based solutions– Systemic eco innovation– Climate services

• Foreward looking activities long term perspective (2050):– Analysis– Scenario building

RECREATE stakeholder network feeding into the process and a platform for dissemination

Results• Detailed evidence and syntheses– Scoreboard– Trends – Socio economic/environmental impact

assessments and policy options– Foresights and scenario’s– Policy briefs

4: Describe the components and steps in RECREATE’s Forward-Looking Analysis• Overall framework elaborated: nested systems in transition,

viewed through Multi-Level Perspective

22 January 2014

15RECREATE

5: Ensuring alignment between the various methods and analyses

• Shared conceptual system model elaborated

• Common (wiki) glossary of terms

• Common (wiki) list of data sources

• First elaborations of relevance of inter-linkages/synergies/trade-offs

22 January 2014

16RECREATE

Looking ahead• Setting up a network of stakeholders to help

gather data and validate RECREATE outputs• Producing 14 policy briefs (every 4 months)

on forward looking analysis for EU research and innovation based on quantitative and qualitative analyses

• Target audience: research, industry, policy• Various dissemination means and networks

23 April 2014

17RECREATE

Today• First stakeholder workshop (three to

follow one per year)• Reporting and validation on current

stage of the project: methods defined, real work to start

• Active engagement and input will benefit all
