Summary:The use of web 2.0 in shaping and implementing public sector innovation policies is rather unexplored. Private sector innovation practice in web 2.0 suggests a good potential fir reshaping innovation polity processes from top down to more bottom-up approaches, building on low cost access to collaborative spaces of knowledge. By way of analysing a recent web 2.0 foresight project attached to European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), we explore how the application of web 2.0 process influences on the widely applied For-Learn Foresight Cycle and more in general on the design and management of foresight projects. The paper also identifies implications for polity-making and avenuesfirfiaure research.
