D4.3 Guideline for participatory processes

SummaryThis deliverable sums up the results of a transdisciplinary co-production process leading to the production of these guidelines on how to make participatory processes easier to access. It expands on the methodology, provides general advice based on evidence, informs on the status quo of design-choices for each pilot and it recommends tools and methods and provides further advice to enhance inclusivity. Concluding remarks touch upon further challenges to be managed, such as the interrelation between design-choices, data protection and security, documentation, possible aims of (UX) testing, and the usage of digital platforms.
