The Wisdom Project, The Open Source Think Tank
This is the S&T questions page of the Wisdom Project - there are many other pages - and the project is dedicated to
"fulfill the true promise of the think tank concept by using an open source model. Anyone, including you, has the power to shape the final published results. You have the power to open any problem up for discussion and to develop solutions to any problem. Your judgment determines which solutions are best and which contributors receive recognition. At the Wisdom Project, your wisdom and knowledge is empowered to help change the world.
Our purpose is to foster wisdom and develop solutions to our most urgent problems. Whether or not that goal is accomplished is entirely up to you. Let's put our minds together to build a better future."
This is still very much in early stages. Cf also the Wilkipedia.

Sectoral Case Studies in Innovation: Energy: "Sectoral Case Studies in Innovation: Energy
Sectoral Case Studies in Innovation: Energy
Send Print
The specific objectives of the case study on energy, which is being conducted in collaboration with the International Energy Agency’s Committee on Energy Research and Technology, are:
i) to undertake crosscountry and cross-industry comparisons of innovation processes and R&D productivity in the energy sector, and
ii) to formulate policy recommendations that improve the efficiency of the national energy innovation systems and the productivity of R&D investments in the energy sector.
The study focusus on fuel cell technology, which is of interest to all the participating countries, but other fields also examined, including oil & gas extraction technologies and clean coal technology. Particular attention is paid to the impact of ICT, regulatory changes and environment concerns on R&D in the energy sector and on the overall efficiency of the national energy innovation systems.
The study highlights the challenges associated with innovation in large technological infrastructures (e.g. issues of technological lock-in and system inter-dependencies). It examines systemic imperfections that may hinder the improvement of R&D productivity and the innovative capacity of the energy sector with a particular emphasis on R&D funding, public-private partnerships in research and technological development, and IPR management.
