Dr. Ozcan Saritas presented on how foresight can help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs present an ambitious vision for development by 2030 but implementing them will be complex due to their interconnections and unknown future challenges. Foresight uses systematic, participatory processes to gather future intelligence and build long-term visions that can inform present-day decisions and mobilize joint actions. It can help assess country contexts, set national and regional SDG targets and strategies, and monitor and evaluate progress over time by comparing foresight outcomes. Foresight outputs like visions, intelligence, and evidence-based guidelines can benefit stakeholders across government, business, science, education and society.

Andrea-Rosalinde HOFER a German national has been working for the OECD since 2003. She led the HEInnovate country reviews in Bulgaria, Ireland, the Netherlands and Hungary, and the OECD’s predecessor work on strengthening university entrepreneurship support in eastern Germany. The aim of HEInnovate – a key long-term partnership initiative by the European Commission and the OECD – is to support policy makers, higher education leaders and other key stakeholders to identify the actions they can take to stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation and to remove the blockages that can exist at the institutional level and the national higher education system, based on data, analysis and international comparison. To enhance the practical application of the HEInnovate guiding framework, a free online self-assessment tool (www.heinnovate.eu) was designed for HEIs to organise a strategic debate with key stakeholders around entrepreneurship and innovation, using a digital platform (http://www.HEInnovate.eu). The tool is available in 23 languages and currently used by more than 800 HEIs around the world.

Kohtuuhintainen asuminen – miten se mahdollistetaan?Demos Helsinki
Kohtuuhintainen asuminen on tärkeä yhteiskunnallinen kysymys. Se on yhdistetty muun muassa koulutusmenestyksen tasavertaisuuteen sekä kaupungin kykyyn houkutella kansainvälisiä osaajia. Asumisen mahdollisuudet koskettavat suurta määrää ihmisiä eikä pelkästään esimerkiksi työttömiä. Asumisen kustannukset ovat kuitenkin voimakkaassa nousussa. Tässä esitelmässä käydään läpi tämänhetkisiä ja tulossa olevia keinoja asumisen hinnan laskemiseksi.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Offer a ‘supremely ambitious and transformational vision’

Provide an integrated vision that is supported by
quantified targets for future development till 2030
Universally applicable to all countries while taking into
account the specifics of different national policies,
priorities and their capacities and levels of development

Implementing the SDGs
A complex system of issues requiring a holistic view
Systemically inter-connected and inter-dependent
Require customised targets, co-ordinated strategies and

Localisation & Decentralisation
Vertical and horizontal policy integration
Effective communications within and across
governance levels by ensuring that interactions
among policies are mutually supportive
Shift from Government to Governance
Government: A top-down approach to regulate the behaviour of
institutions and people in quite detailed ways – ‘powers over’
Governance: Sets the parameters of the system within which
people and institutions behave so that self-regulation achieves
the desired outcomes – ‘powers to’
18. 18
Formation & implementation
• Strategic scalar alignment: Being context-aware
and positioning at the regional, national and global
levels with tensions and opportunities arising at all
levels
• Complementarity: Between value chain,
institutional and social actors for investment,
competitiveness, risk sharing and mutual learning
• Networking: Socialization, Articulation,
Combination & Internalisation to make use of tacit
and explicit knowledge embedded in clusters

Foresight process
1. Initiation: Scoping and preparation to embark upon
Foresight
2. Intelligence: Creates shared understanding and mutual
appreciation of issues through environmental and horizon
scanning
3. Imagination: The input from scanning is synthesised
into quantitative and qualitative models of the situations
4. Integration: Analyses the alternative models of the
future and ‘prioritises’ them, through intensive
negotiations among system actors and stakeholders, to
create an agreed model of the future
5. Interpretation: Translates future visions into long-,
medium-, and short-term actions for a successful change
programme
6. Intervention: Creates plans to inform present day
decisions for immediate change to provide structural and
behavioural transformations
7. Impact: Assesses the results and impacts of Foresight
exercise, learns from experience and provides input for
next round
8. Interaction: Develops mechanisms to provide the
engagement of experts and stakeholders through the
Foresight process to ensure transparency, inclusivity and
legitimacy of the Foresight activity

How Foresight may help?
Outputs
• Build visions of the future
• Provide anticipatory intelligence to
system actors
• Set general research directions
• Inform policy and public debates
• Inform funding and investment
priorities
• Evidence-based policy guidelines for
policymakers and other innovation
actors
Outcomes
• During the Exercise
– Building of new linkages
– Changing perceptions / new
understanding / enlightenment
– Articulation of widely-shared
visions
• Immediately After
– New (interdisciplinary) R&D
programmes and projects
– Further use and development of
Foresight results
• Sometime Later
– R&D and innovation impacts
– New working communities
23. 23
How Foresight may help?
• Convergence of STI with social and industrial policy
in the context of knowledge economy
• Emerging reorientation of STI policy with emphasis
upon demand-side policies
– Key driver of development is linkage between local
capabilities and effective demand
– With an industrial policy based upon fostering clusters,
platforms and supply chains
• Concept of innovation ecosystem, where Foresight
contributes in creating shared strategic vision
between the actors involved in clusters
