Abstract—Foresight projects have been used across the world in the process of anticipating the future by governments, regional authorities, companies and S&R institutes. Foresight, together with its specific research tools and terminology, is becoming increasingly important also in Poland. From nearly 50 foresight projects implemented in Poland most of them is related with the technology and research development. The key issue of foresight methodology is to identify the key technologies/priority line of research. The paper presents a methodology of selection of priority lines of research in nanotechnology at regional scale.
Index Terms—Nanotechnology, priority line of research, technology foresight.
