Methodology for the engagement of Local Stakeholder Groups

Abstract

This paper outlines the methodological framework for engaging stakeholders in the
work on the Interreg WaVE project. More specifically, taking the notion of ‘co-creation’ as an overarching principle, it provides the project partners with guidance on how to prepare and organise engagement of all relevant stakeholders in: (1) the process of elaboration of regional status quo analyses for the redevelopment sites covered in the project; and (2) preparation of action plans for these sites; while providing insights into (3) how to keep the participating stakeholders engaged in collaboration beyond throughout the project’s duration and beyond.
