The ambition of the EU FP7-funded project “Public Participation in Developing a Common Framework for Assessment and Management of Sustainable Innovation” (CASI) is to develop a methodological framework for assessing sustainable innovation and managing multi-disciplinary solutions through public engagement in the Research, Technological Development and Innovation (RTDI) system. Task 3.4 contributed to the achievement of this ambition by producing a set of research priorities based on citizens’ concerns and wishes for a sustainable future. It also provided mutual learning among project partners by building capacity for the future use and understanding of the applied methodology. The methodology combines citizens’ input and experts’ insights and was first developed and used in the FP7 Blue Sky research project, CIVISTI. The deliverable at hand is the final report on this Task.

The CASI project develops European research priorities on sustainable innovation and the Grand challenge on climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials through a consultation of citizens and experts. This report lists and analyses such research priorities from a European expert workshop which was organised by CASI in Copenhagen in 8.-9.6.2015 and convened 23 European experts in the field. The research priorities were developed in relation to 50 citizen visions on sustainable futures that were previously formulated in citizen workshops in 12 European countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. A selection of 27 research priorities were elaborated and evaluated according to their novelty, essentiality and timeliness. Future work on research priorities will involve citizen feedback and integrate other forms of knowledge created in the CASI project.

We all wonder about the future. We wonder at a personal level about how our life will turn out. And we also wonder about the world. What will the future look like for all of us? How will life be in the next century? We can search for the answers in our weekly horoscope or we can go to a fortune teller at the carnival - but actu-ally nobody can really predict the future. However, fortunately there is one thing that everybody can do and that is to think about the future and to formulate his or her visions on what we would like this future to be. This formulating of ideas and opinions is extremely important. It is exactly by discussing people’s hopes and fears that policymakers can set out a path to realize them. In CASI we are curious about citizens visions for a sustainable future. This magazine would like to give you a glimpse of how to think about the future and sustainability, and inspire you to formulate your own dreams, wishes and desires for a sustainable future.

In this short catalogue, we present the 50 citizen visions (in English) sorted by country. There are CASI citizen panels in the 12 following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, and UK (see Figure 1). A vision, as defined in the CASI project, is a picture or an imagination of a desirable future. A vision can be based upon hopes and dreams - but also upon concerns and fears in relation to problems or imagined threats, which are not desirable. In CASI, the time span of the vision is 30-40 years from now. The visions of the CASI project result from the deliberations of citizen panels. Each vision has been structured according to a common template even though different styles and narrative formats have been used in the writing of the visions.
