“…The interplay of source and message has also been subject to research: Terwel et al (2009) studied the effects of congruence of source and message in relation to CCS in an experimental context. In this study, the source of the communication was presented as either being NGOs or industry, and the issues communicated were either environmental or economic arguments in favour of CCS.…”

“…For a large part, empirical research on communication effects takes the shape of experiments in which effects of two or three input factors on several output factors are examined (cf. Ter Mors, 2009;Terwel et al, 2009). The matrix can be used to summarize the results of such research.…”

“…The fact that we did not manipulate the sender of the communication also restricts the generalizability of the results. As Terwel et al (2009) have shown, there can be interaction effects between the content and the sender of a communication. Future research should investigate the possibility that the effect of monitoring information depends on the communicator.…”

-This paper summarizes the work on the social dimension conducted within the EU FP7 SiteChar project. The most important aim of the research was to advance public awareness and draw lessons for successful public engagement activities when developing a CO 2 storage permit application. To this end, social site characterization (e.g. representative surveys) and public participation activities (focus conference) were conducted at two prospective Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) sites: an onshore site in Poland and an offshore site in Scotland. The research consisted of four steps over a time period of 1.5 year, from early 2011 to mid-2012. The first step consisted of four related qualitative and quantitative research activities to provide a social characterization of the areas: desk research, stakeholder interviews, media analyses, and a survey among representative samples of the local community. The aim was to identify: -stakeholders or interested parties; -factors that may drive their perceptions of and attitudes towards CCS.Results were used to as input for the second step, in which a new format for public engagement named 'focus conferences' was tested at both sites involving a small sample of the local community. The third step consisted of making available generic as well as site-specific information to the general and local public, by: -setting up a bilingual set of information pages on the project website suitable for a lay audience; -organizing information meetings at both sites that were open to all who took interest. The fourth step consisted of a second survey among a new representative sample of the local community. The survey was largely identical to the survey in step 1 to enable the monitoring of changes in awareness, knowledge and opinions over time.Results provide insight in the way local CCS plans may be perceived by the local stakeholders, how this can be reliably assessed at early stage without raising unnecessary concerns, and how results of this inventory can be used to develop effective local communication and participation strategies. In future project development, if any, these results can be used to start up and inform the process of information provision and public engagement. Les re´sultats ont e´te´utilise´s pour la seconde e´tape, dans laquelle un nouveau format pour les activite´s d'engagement socie´tal, sous la forme de confe´rences en petits groupes, a e´te´teste´sur les deux sites aupre`s d'un petit e´chantillon de la communaute´locale. La troisie`me e´tape consistait a`mettre a`disposition du public en ge´ne´ral et des communaute´s locales en particulier, des informations ge´ne´riques ainsi que des informations spe´cifiques au site : -un ensemble de pages d'informations bilingues accessibles depuis le site web du projet et adapte´es au grand public ; -organisation de re´unions d'informations pour les deux sites, ouvertes a`tous les citoyens potentiellement inte´resse´s par le sujet. La quatrie`me e´tape consistait en un second sondage aupre`s d'un nouvel e´chantillon rep...
