In this contribution, we investigate how results produced in a large-scale participatory agenda setting process differ from of expert-based foresight studies with similar aim informing EU research and innovation (R&I) policy. After providing theoretical positioning an overview the EU-wide CIMULACT—Citizen Multi-Actor Consultation on Horizon 2020, describe our developed analytical approach that includes five steps calculation three metrics.
