Social engagement in the development of any process refers to the active participation and collaboration of individuals, communities, and stakeholders in shaping and influencing its outcome. This can involve a wide range of activities, such as public consultations, community meetings, online forums, and collaborative decision-making, all aimed at ensuring that diverse perspectives are considered and that the process benefits from the collective input and expertise of those involved. In essence, social engagement helps to create more inclusive, transparent, and effective processes by fostering a sense of ownership and accountability among all participants. This can lead to better decision-making, increased trust, and improved outcomes that reflect the community’s needs and aspirations.
The URGENT project includes the social engagement in order to improve the acceptance of the work done in the project.
