Aware that prospective studies are constantly being carried out and published on subjects as diverse as they are varied, the FOCUS project aims to identify and access these works. Trying to bring added value by standing on the shoulders of giants is certainly more stimulating than trying to repeat their work!

Together with the cooperative Centredoc, we have analysed the contents and methodologies of different sources that we consider of interest for technology foresight.

Using these different sources, we provide here the free version of Google’s Programmable Search Engine. If the first results, easily identifiable, are advertisements, the following seem to us to be excellent references to initiate any prospective work relating to a given technological field.

If the theme is of interest or if you wish to indicate other sources, please do not hesitate to contact us.
