Principles of good participation Short presentation and world café Felix Rauschmayer, UFZ Marie Curie Research Training Network, Contract No. MRTN-CT-2006-035536
Participation • Involvement of individuals or groups who are not part of the elected or appointed legal decision making bodies in preparing, making or implementing collectively binding decisions. • A participatory process is open to public input; possibly including new forms of deliberation. • Public (citizen) or stakeholder participation. Participation can take place through representation when the stakeholders are organised (e.g. environmental NGO’s). Kick-off Meeting
Evaluation criteria • Multitude of different lists • Fairness and competence (Webler/Renn) • GoverNat evaluation grid • Dependent on aims of participation • differ according to the person asked • Abstract norms or context-related criteria • Output-, outcome- vs. process-oriented Kick-off Meeting
Normativity of criteria • Evaluation criteria need a basis for their normativity • Discourse ethics / utilitarianism / pragmatism / • Abstract norms or case-specific • Scientists should not select the basis • Scientists can present a covering list of criteria • Recommending scientists can‘t escape normativity, but they can make it more explicit Kick-off Meeting

Policy implications (Webler et al. 2001) • Design a process that meets the needs and desires of the potential participants • Reflect carefully on what participants and planners expect of the process • Be familiar with participation techniques and resources available • Build in flexibility Kick-off Meeting
