A multi-author book edited by Dirk Meissner, Leonid Gokhberg and Alexander Sokolov will be published by Springer Publishing House in May 2013. Science, technology and innovation policy are topics that much have been written about over the last decades. However until today no common understanding has been articulated on what these policy fields are and how they are correlated with the daily practice of policy making. Thus the book pursuits an approach to developing STI policy measures oriented towards future societal and technological challenges. The concept of evidence based STI policy making is elaborated and put into the context of Foresight studies. The editorial book brings together contributions from leading international scientists, representatives of national governments and international organisations including the OECD. The book gives practical guidance for policy makers, analysts and researchers on how to leverage the use of Foresight studies which are common practice in many countries for future STI policy approaches.
