Abstract

This paper is devoted to an evaluation of the reliability and legitimacy of scientific assessment in a technological policy context. Thanks to a foresight inquiry gathering more than 58000 opinions of French experts about technological priorities for the future, we examine whether technological agendas selected by academic experts coincide with industrial priorities, on the one hand and social needs on the other hand. We conclude on the (positive and negative) consequences of entrusting solely academia with the selection of national technological agenda. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
