Group for work emerging from the "Collaborative Paradigm for Community Engagement" project, led by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, along with the Schenectady Foundation.
This team will develop a community engagement toolkit for the Department of Energy’s consent-based siting process through a participatory design process and evaluation of strategies for community engagement and mutual learning. The anticipated outcomes are a detailed guide of best practices for community-centered design, adaptable models for risk scenarios, plans for community engagement events, and learning modules.
