Developing the evaluation framework of technology foresight program: lesson learned from European countries

Foresight activities are valued in many countries since 1990s due to their long term strategic planning. These governments consequently allocate most resources in these foresight activities. As a result, the paper mainly develops the evaluation framework of technology foresight program, by integrating the concepts of evaluation and logic framework with the experience of foresight evaluation from developed countries, for instance European Union, Britain etc., to realize the outcomes of implementing foresight act ivies. Taking Sweden as a case study, the paper is also proposed to show the effectiveness of this new framework.
