These are notes I put on the Foresight Network:
Here are some sites that a little trawl (mainly of government) came up with - sorry, no time to enable hyperlinks, very rushed!):
on horizon scanning in UK, the OSI/Foresight Unit is central:
http://www.foresight.gov.uk/Horizon%20Scanning%20Centre/index.asp
But also important is DEFRA:
http://horizonscanning.defra.gov.uk/default.aspx?menu=menu&module=Home
other UK government use (not so much STI policy...) includes
http://www.hse.gov.uk/horizons/ (good!)
http://www.pcpoh.bham.ac.uk/publichealth/horizon/
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/aboutus/512398/1504325/1504417/831980/832135/?lang=_e (not much here, sadly - but then I found another very interesting link at http://nlp.shef.ac.uk/wig/projects/environment-agency/index.html)
http://www.food.gov.uk/aboutus/ourboard/boardmeetoccasionalpapers/horizonscanningprog
http://www.erff.org.uk/reports/reports/reportdocs/horizon_scanning_report071212.pdf
http://www.aebc.gov.uk/aebc/reports/horizon_scanning_report.htm
remember there are several countries in the UK eg http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2006/01/24131719/25
(here is a mis-use of the term: http://www.nice.org.uk/usingguidance/implementationtools/horizonscanning/horizon_scanning.jsp)
some other useful sources:
