The VRWI has a strategic, agenda-setting, and advisory role in the Flemish science and innovation policy. As an independent Council, it enriches the policy-making process of the Flemish government with knowledge and practical experiences (from scientists and representatives of the Flemish industry). In this role, the VRWI produced Future Studies in 2006. In a first phase, seven transition areas were selected. This selection was based on a SWOT analysis of Flanders, taking into account scientific, technological, and innovation (STI) trends and societal challenges and developments with a time horizon of 2025.
In October 2013, several expert panels were set up to determine five detailed STI priorities for Flanders 2025 for each of the transition areas. Dialogic guides the expert panels for the transition areas of Food, E-society, and Urban Planning & Mobility Dynamics.
