Forward Looking Activities Mapping Environment (FLAME)

The FLA Mapping Environment (FLAME) is a fully independent web-space aimed to monitor, analyse and position (MAP) forward-looking activities (FLA) in Europe and the world. FLAME has been adapted to meet the needs of European FLA and support the European Foresight Platform Mapping Work Package led by the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research of The University of Manchester. Furthermore, given that the FLAME platform is powered by Futures Diamond's FLA mapping and content management systems, registered FLAME members have access to the iKnow Community tools and vice versa. The current Mapping Environment (Deliverable 2.2 of the EFP project) includes key functionalities discussed with the European Commission and the EFP consortium in an internal document called EFP Mapping Protocols (Deliverable 2.1).
