The approach incorporated interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder interactive methods, integrating scientific and tacit knowledge.
This requires, among others, the involvement of a potentially diverse array of stakeholders in interactive decision processes, the explicit consideration of all types of uncertainties, and the complementary, and informed, use of methodologies from several disciplines.
The series ended with a negotiation workshop, where stakeholders used interactive land use allocation tools collectively on the Touch table to reach a consensus land use plan for the polder.
The research team also facilitated an interactive stakeholder consultation workshop in June , 2013
The regional planning workshops combine expertise from both scientists and stakeholders with an interactive mapping device.
Neurosciences in Dialogue aims to involve researchers and societal stakeholders in an interactive learning process to stimulate developments of neuroimaging technologies towards shared desirable applications with few, or at least manageable, negative impacts in society.
Real-time TA Engage researchers and a wider circle of relevant stakeholders in an interactive process of imaginative deliberation, considering options, needs, conditions and alternatives for future applications envisaged in particular projects.
Neurosciences in Dialogue focuses on the responsible development and use of neuroimaging in three application domains - health care, education and justice & security - and involves researchers and societal stakeholders in an interactive learning process to stimulate developments towards shared desirable applications with few, or at least manageable, negative impacts.
A starting point for a real-time TA is the articulation of future 'application scenarios' with the aim to engage researchers and a wider circle of relevant stakeholders in an interactive process of imaginative deliberation, considering options, needs, conditions and alternatives for future applications envisaged in particular projects.
A way to deal with the questions that trouble stakeholders while keeping up the enthusiasm is to make the process into a learning exercise; "a cognitive act" as Hill and Hupe (2002) talk about, that involves stakeholders in an interactive process (Himes 2007).
We present one such tool – the Greenhouse Gas Regional Inventory Project (GRIP) – and discuss stakeholder reaction to this interactive computer-based approach.
