Future-oriented technology analysis methods can play a significant role in enabling early warning signal detection and pro-active policy action which will help to better prepare policy- decision-makers today's complex inter-dependent environments. This paper analyses the use of different horizon scanning approaches as applied Scanning for Emerging Science Technology Issues project. A comparative is provided well brief evaluation needs policy-makers if they are identify areas be formulated....
In this paper, we discuss key issues in harnessing horizon scanning to shape systemic policies, particularly the light of foresight exercise 'Facing future: Time for EU meet global challenges' which was carried out Bureau European Policy Advisors.This illustrates how can enable collective sense-making processes assist identification emerging signals and policy issues; synthesis such into encompassing clusters; interpretation resulting clusters as an important step towards coordinated...
Contextual conditions affect behavior in 2 ways: (a) They confront people with opportunities and obstacles that their motivation to take action; or (b) they instantaneously shape performance, regardless of a person's even without subjective acknowledgment the conditions. Traditionally psychology, immediate behavioral consequences context are disregarded. Based on our theory goal-directed behavior, we able disentangle instant motivational contexts. In an example study, 40% variation...
This article proposes a specific social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) approach, to be applied in case study on energy production Switzerland. The aim of the present is describe conditions along global supply chains and compare them with situation Therefore, S-LCA methodology was developed that combines relevance analysis performance reference point (PRP) assessment. carried out identify most relevant unit processes indicators Swiss PRPs (SPRPs) are designed issues value chain two stages...
Researchers are showing significant interest on wireless charging of electric vehicles (EVs) and this concept is becoming popular growing very fast. Using technique, it possible to considerably decrease fossil fuel consumption reduce pollution created by in one hand cord hazards EV the other hand. systems can be divided into two groups: Stationary Wireless Charging (SWC) Dynamic (DWC). However, DWC has more advantages as compared SWC, terms time reducing battery size. Despite fact that...
Cities are key agents in the transformation of energy systems, since majority world population lives cities and most is consumed urban areas. In recent times, concept smart has raised attention both scientists practitioners different fields. Smart envisioned to link fields action such as mobility; production, distribution, consumption; buildings; governance stakeholder processes; planning. Information communication technologies seen these interconnections. The overall goal a city save...

A change in how individuals consume energy is a key step fighting climate since it represents crucial contribution to more collective and sustainable lifestyle adoption. To carry out such process, designers scientists are seeking new ways increase public discussion social involvement reduction issues. In relation this, the emphasis on raising awareness enable behavioural inspire people making decisions consumption. This article draws techniques approaches from science, gameful design...

Recently, an increasing number of cities are in the process developing new strategies and concepts to become Smart Cities. Participatory approaches that include all stakeholders essential for urban developments be smart widely accepted. Nevertheless, only a few have linked their citizen participation with city planning. This is where this innovative Virtual Reality (VR) project comes in.Technological progress VR now enables people virtually integrated into emerging future. Incombination...
Recently, the smart city concepts have gained increasing importance in current energy and planning. Various projects which been realized show that a systemic, integrative approach is crucial. However, delineation of boundaries for planning realization systemic local solutions are challenging as prevailing conventional tools routines limited. They usually propose top-down short-term approaches with limited interactions stakeholders interdisciplinary research (in particular involving areas...
