Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)

Few research institutes have already established platforms integrating "several people" in research projects. Similar to open innovation platforms, everyone, e. g. university students or people dealing with similar themes at work, can post and exchange their ideas on interactive databases. Furthermore, patients can post their needs for or experiences with i.e. special pharmaceuticals.

Signal's potential evolution

It could lead to...

	issue	type of issue/development	potential impact on society	timeframe for the issue to become at least 50% probable
#1	Research / R & D structures are turned inside-out, as innovation & knowledge production are no longer expert based, but produced by a community. The system and its processes have to be redesigned.	continuation	beneficial	now-2025

Under what assumption the Weak Signal might evolve.

Research - as innovation does as well - adapts to abilities of the next generation: the "digital natives" are used to contribute ideas and possible solutions on virtual platforms and in online communities.
