The book you are about to read is the result of an effort undertook by CGEE to bring Brazilian nationals and experts from other countries with the aim of exchanging concepts, views and practices when assisting in decision-making processes on science, technology development and innovation.
It couldn't be better. Leading scholars and practitioners met at CGEE premises and freely debated the advances in foresight with several S&T Brazilian institutions and representatives from government and the private sector. At that informal meeting, a range of issues on how to approach future challenges and their impact on daily life were presented and discussed using state-of-the-art methods and tools.
CGEE is very thankful to those who attended. Special thanks go to the specialists coming from different locations in Brazil and to those from Argentina, Australia, Peru, Thailand, the USA and Sweden, who dedicated a couple of days from their busy schedule to be with us. It is also my pleasure to acknowledge the superb job of the local organizing committee, led by Claudio Chauke and Lelio Fellows Filho, with the support of our event coordination, publications and administrative teams.
We do hope that readers will enjoy, this publication compiled by the Center's technical staff. You may also access the presentations from the event by visiting our web site at www.cgee.org.br. We expect to repeat this exercise every now and then and we will knock on your doors again in the near future. We wish you good reading.
