Recommendations to Consider for Future Science, Technology and Innovation Foresight Exercises in South Africa and the African Continent.  aUsing a new methodology for foresight studies, this book presents new findings and policy recommendations to improve living conditions and make progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using the case of South Africa, the respective chapters show how social and economic challenges can be addressed in an inclusive and sustainable way. The book also provides guidelines for practitioners by introducing them to cutting-edge ways of formulating Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policies. The new foresight methodology uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including horizon scanning and scenario planning, as well as big data analysis, scientometric and semantic methods. The innovative approaches developed throughout the book are subsequently demonstrated using a national foresight study in South Africa. The outputs and outcomes generated by the study can be used to inform the identification and selection of priorities for the next decadal plan for STI. The book offers a valuable asset for emerging and developing economies in Africa and around the world in terms of tackling the grand challenges of the 21st century, such as water, food, energy, climate change, health and education. 0aDevelopment economics.961731 0aEnvironmental economics.957520 0aEconomic development.958075 0aSampling (Statistics).95980514aDevelopment Economics.96173124aEnvironmental Economics.95752024aEconomic Growth.95834724aMethodology of Data Collection and Processing.9659461 aSaritas, Ozcan.eeditor.0(orcid)0000-0002-1243-03531https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1243-03534edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9898691 aSokolov, Alexander.eeditor.0(orcid)0000-0002-3549-11751https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3549-11754edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9898701 aCele, Mlungisi.eeditor.0(orcid)0009-0003-1847-71491https://orcid.org/0009-0003-1847-71494edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9898712 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303169556808iPrinted edition:z978303169558208iPrinted edition:z9783031695599 0aScience, Technology and Innovation Studies,x2570-151798987240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-69557-5  aZDB-2-ECF  aZDB-2-SXEF  c66187d66187
