Encountering the Global Knowledge Economy (GKE) where knowledge intensity of goods and services is ever rising and its global dimension is rapidly expanding, it becomes more critical to collaborate with others at regional or global level as well as at national level in order to promote innovation in pursuit of sustainable economic growth and social well-being. Furthermore, in such a GKE, it is highly demanded to make innovation policies more strategically and prospectively to secure quality performances of knowledge production activities including scientific research and technological development. Thanks to elaborative works of the APEC Center for Technology Foresight (CTF) since its inception in 1998, a number of prominent methodologies for prospective (ex ante) evaluation have been identified and widely diffused to many APEC economies. Adopting this theme and supporting CTF s effort, the ART 2009 Program, titled Looking Ahead through Global Collaborations: Strategic Planning in APEC Economies, discusses following agenda; - Overview of Existing Prospective Evaluation Methodologies - State-of-the-Art Tools to Look Ahead - National and Global S&T Portfolio - Linking Prospective Evaluation to STI Policy - Building Evidence-based Platform for Strategic Planning - Global Cooperation for Strategic Planning Date: February, 2009 Venue: Pusan Paradise Hotel, Pusan, Korea Theme: Looking Ahead through Global Cooperation: Strategic Planning in APEC Economies The deadline for application is 1 December, Program Logistics The ART 2009 Program purports to provide an interactive and lively discussion environment where all participants from APEC member countries to exchange their experiences and build expert networks among them.
