News New project works out how to get people working more effectively together to protect the environment Involved is a research project investigating what makes stakeholder participation in environmental management work. By understanding why different approaches work in different contexts, we want to help people design participatory processes that are more likely to deliver the outcomes people want. It will ask who benefits in what ways, and how outcomes are influenced by the design of participatory processes and the contexts in which they take place. In doing so, the project will develop new theoretical and methodological insights that can enhance stakeholder participation in environmental management. It will do this by analysing: i) different participatory processes in comparable socio-economic and biophysical contexts; and ii) comparable participatory processes in different contexts. The project runs from 1 December 2009 till 31 December 2012 and has a budget of £120K. The project is co-ordinated from the University of Aberdeen, with collaborators from the Universities of Leeds and Leuphana, and members of the EU-funded DESIRE project.
