SAPIENTIA: Systems Analysis for Progress and Innovation in Energy Technologies for Integrated Assessment, for European Commission, DG Research
SAPIENTIA is a natural continuation of the SAPIENT project, whose main achievement has been that it has demonstrated a way for building a tool for integrated policy assessment. However, it has not been possible to involve real decision makers in the utilisation of results due to the highly experimental nature of that project. Therefore, SAPIENTIA is concentrating on the decision support aspects of SAPIENT and in this sense is much more focused in scope. Furthermore, it expands significantly the scope by introducing more technologies (candidates for Community R&D support), describing more fully and operationally spill-overs between technologies, enlarging the set of objectives to include sustainable development considerations, brings into the policy exploration exercises for the longer term, addresses the issues of the relative efficacy of research versus demonstration, puts energy R&D in the context of R&D addressed to other economic sectors and finally concentrates on the methodical use of ISPA involving decision makers capable of interacting with analysts.
