Imagining "engagement": A hands-on experiment

Using participatory mapping techniques, social scientists at the 2018 Radiation Protection Week in Rovinj (Croatia) invited conference attendees to write and draw their thoughts about stakeholder engagement in radiation protection on a giant tableau. In the course of three days, a full map emerged assembling stakeholder names, relationships, practices, and visions of stakeholder engagement for the future. The map and the process that accompanied its construction are an integral part of the EU-ENGAGE project, which seeks to address key difficulties and opportunities for stakeholder engagement in exposures to ionizing radiation.
