Robust Portfolio Modeling in the Development of National Research priorities

We present a foresight process that was conducted to support the development of the Finnish national Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) of the Forest-Based Sector Technology Platform. The process was based on a recently developed multi-criteria method RPM-Screening and consisted of four tasks. In this process, invited experts i) submitted, ii) assessed and commented research themes in the Internet, whereafter the iii) research themes were analyzed with Robust Portfolio Modeling (RPM). Finally, results from these tasks were validated through a series of workshops.
