Speakers shared what citizens highlighted as priorities, concerns, and expectations, and how these inputs can inform project communication and community engagement practices. The session started with an overview of the social science research conducted in the Horizon funded project PilotSTRATEGY. The webinar closed with a moderated Q&A.
