26th – 30th June 2018 – ICAP Conference

Irene Maltagliati presented her study on Stakeholders’ Perceptions of Gas Development and Public Acceptability at the ICAP (International Congress of Applied Psychology) in Montreal on the 26-30 June. For this qualitative study, interviewees were conducted with stakeholders from companies, academia, environmental NGOs, municipalities and Dutch government. The aim of the study was to understand how different stakeholders evaluate the gas developments, how they think about the role of the public in the decision-making around gas and which factors they think may influence public acceptability of gas developments.
