APEC Center for Technology Foresight (CTF) was invited to facilitate a three-day foresight workshop for key research staff to look for plausible futures of research and development paths for the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in the next 10 years. The program had run from March 6 to 8 at the Hotel Equitorial, Penang.

Technology Roadmapping 2001

Bangkok, Thailand
The Center provided a half-day training workshop, for the Center team and others,  led by Professor Ron Johnston, Executive Director, Australian Center for Innovation and International Competitiveness Limited (ACIIC), University of Sydney, Australia on December 12 2001.   There are 32 participants from NSTDA, Ministry of Science, Technology, and Environment, and a participant from private sector.  Professor Ron Johnston conducted the workshop including presentation lectures on the Technology Roadmapping.

Foresight Training 2001

Malaysia
The Center was invited to provide a 4-day foresight training workshop for officers of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment of Malaysia, from 7-10 May 2001.  This formed part of MOSTE’s preparation for a national foresight program.

Vietnam
The Center also was invited to conduct Technology Foresight Workshop on “Food Processing in Vietnam” for National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTPASS), Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (MOSTE), October 22-25, Hai Phong City, Vietnam.  This training workshop was a result of the “APEC Symposium on Technology Foresight”, April 23, in Hanoi and it  was a starting point of the Technology Foresight activities in Vietnam.

Foresight Training 2000

Bangkok, Thailand
The Center organised a general technology foresight training workshop with participants from 6 APEC economies in 1998.  However, it was regrettably unable to repeat this success in the following years due to the economic downturn, since such events need to be self-financing.  The Center concentrated instead on training sessions in one economy, with three one-day events in Thailand and one  in Malaysia. Within Thailand, Center staff conducted a scenario training session using the theme of “Food Safety” for students at Mahidol University’ s Department of Public Health.  In Malaysia, a scenario-planning training was conducted for the Construction Industry Development Board, who were in the process of developing a Master-Plan for the national construction industry.   In addition, visitors from Vietnam who were involved in setting up a national foresight unit, spent a week at the Center to learn about foresight and observe a scenario-planning workshop.

Foresight Training 1999

Bangkok, Thailand
In 1999, the Center shifted its training focus towards organizing/facilitating training at a national level.  The Center provided a scenario-planning training at the Faculty of Public Health, Mahidol University on the theme of ‘Obesity’.  In addition, two one-day training sessions were organised for planners from various Thai organisations, titled “Foresighting to Create a Learning Organization”.  These were facilitated by Professor Sohail Inyatullah, Honorary Visiting Fellow at the Communication Centre, Quennsland University of Technology and Co-Director of the Noosa Institute for the Future, Australia.  These seminars were a ‘toolbox approach’ to using methods from futures research, including Scenario-Planning, Causal Layered Analysis, Emerging Issues Analysis, Visioning, and Backcasting.

Foresight Training 1998
4-6 February

Bangkok, Thailand
The Center’s first training workshop, held on the occasion of the launch of the Center, attracted 30 participants from 6 APEC member economies: China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Chinese Taipei and Thailand.  The workshop was limited to this number in order to maximise the learning opportunities of each participant.  The workshop included an introduction to foresight, planning and implementing a foresight project, wand ‘hands-on’ experience of 2 key foresight techniques - Delphi and Scenario-Planning.  The workshop was facilitated by the Director, Prof Greg Tegart and members of the Center’s International Advisory Board: Prof Ron Johnston (Australia), Dr Taeyoung Shin (Korea) and Mr Terutaka Kuwahara (Japan).
