D5.4 Initial guidelines and tools for community engagement and monitoring

This deliverable contains initial guidelines and tools for community engagement and monitoring as well as the research that led up to those. We showed how the six guidelines can increase participation: by increasing self-efficacy, allowing for social interaction between participants, focussing on recruitment, increasing diversity and accessibility, increasing appreciation and importance, and developing project framing. These guidelines can have an impact on various types of participation: they can be long-term and/or short-term, more people and/or more contributions, increased quality and/or increased quantity, and increasing participation of specific groups and/or anyone.
