Summary
The challenge for this topic is to further understand reactions and attitudes towards FCH technologies among citizens, consumers, and stakeholders in Europe for developing a comprehensive set of guidelines/good practices and engagement activities to increase public awareness and trust, supporting the mass uptake of FCH technologies in Europe. The successful proposal should generate empirical evidence regarding public attitudes towards FCH technologies in Europe. This knowledge will inform the future implementation of actions aimed at devising more effective ways of involving citizens and stakeholders in FCH related aspects and projects.
Detailed Call Description
Activities should focus on FCH technologies as a whole and should target the public and specific groups of stakeholders from sectors and territories for which the development and deployment of FCH technologies can play an important role.
Activities should include social research and public engagement activities, implemented in a significant number of Member States or associated countries, covering but not limited to EU-13 countries, such as world cafes, panel debates, focus groups, workshops, demonstrations, ‘hands-on’ events (e.g.: museum workshops), surveys, exhibitions, social media campaigns, etc. targeted at the public and relevant FCH stakeholders and coming from a collaborative, science-driven framework that involves social/sustainability scientists and FCH experts, scientists experts in popular science, scientific content editors, etc. as needed. Projects should provide a quantitative assessment of the impacts foreseen, providing the metrics and/or indicators to assess the impacts of the engagement activities towards the identified target groups.
The use of bridging tools (for instance, Social Life Cycle Assessment) to facilitate the connection between the technical and social dimensions and enable informed decision-making is encouraged. In this regard, the joint work between social sciences experts and experts in the entire FCH value chain, among others, should result in sound guidelines and materials for future FCH public engagement programmes, projects, and outreach activities.
Activities should envisage links and synergies with existing platforms and/or projects on FCH technologies as well as means of collaboration with similar activities ongoing internationally.
