What is it about?
This study focuses on helping governments, universities, and organizations better plan for the future of science and technology. It offers a framework to connect forward-thinking anticipatory governance, scientific insights, and sustainable policy-making to tackle societal challenges. A new framework is proposed to guide decision-makers in implementing Anticipatory Governance Systems, especially in emerging countries. The research highlights seven main theoretical dimensions that help integrate the sustaining pillars for the framework, providing directions to address complex societal challenges through smarter, more inclusive policymaking.

Why is it important?
t's important because science and technology shape our future, impacting society, the environment, and economies. This study provides directions on how to design and implement Anticipatory Governance Systems, by the constituent dimensions, to anticipate changes, guide decisions, and design policies that promote innovation, sustainability, and long-term resilience.
Perspectives
We hope this article can provide pathways to researchers and policymakers to principles for design and implement Anticipatory Governance Systems.
