Se særskilt rapportering.

We propose to work from an understanding of public understanding and acceptance of science and technology as a set of dialogues between scientists and a diversity of relevant user audiences, including the general public. In doing so, we will lean on the t heoretical proposals of Nowotny et al. (2001) and Latour (2004) and try out various methodological and procedural approaches to realise these ideas, to be described below. The main benefit to be expected is the development of knowledge about how a series of new energy technologies are understood by relevant user constituencies and how this may affect the acceptability of the technologies. This knowledge may be used to change the dialogic practices of scientists and involved policy-makers, but it may also be used to change design and implementation strategies. In a sense, one could consider dialogue, acceptance and technology to be co-produced, or perhaps rather as co-corrected. Thus, the project should be considered as a focused learning about how we may get better technologies more easily accepted. We will involve the following technological areas: 1)Carbon Capture and Storage, 2)Energy efficiency, and 3)Off-shore windpower.
