Dr. Ewa J. Dönitz is a senior researcher in the Competence Centre “Innovation and Technology Management and Foresight” at Fraunhofer ISI since 2009. She is an expert in scenario development and supports colleagues across the Institute in developing scenarios in various thematic areas and leads national and European Foresight projects. Her research is focussing on the whole range of Foresight methods in particular scenarios, visions and roadmaps and its application for underpinning innovation processes and strategy building. Since 2010 she is teaching innovation and project management at the Femtec Berlin and since 2011 futures research methodology at the University of Kassel.

After studying economics at the Oskar Lange Economics Academy in Wrocław (Poland) and economics at the University of Bremen, she worked as a research associate at the Institute for Project Management and Innova-tion (IPMI) at the University of Bremen and received her PhD the with a thesis on advancing the scenario methodology.
