“…For instance, in Germany participatory processes are required by law as part of the site selection process. This ensures the possibility of involvement, which can increase social acceptance [2]. A precondition for participatory processes is the availability of information on the state of research to all stakeholders, as this information is needed to form an opinion.…”

“…The most important requirements derived from the final proto-personas were defined in a discussion by the group: (1) Participants should be able to attend at their own pace and repeated access to information should be available on demand. (2) The user interface should be simple and multilingual (German and English) and the information should be available as text and audio. (3) The participants should not be overburdened by interactions and information, but details should be available on demand.…”

This article describes the design and evaluation of a virtual field trip on the topic of radioactive waste management research for university education. We created an interactive virtual tour through the Mont Terri underground research laboratory by enhancing the virtual experiment information system, designed for domain experts, with background information, illustrations, tasks, tests, and an improved user interface. To put the tour's content into context, a conventional introductory presentation on the final disposal of radioactive waste was added. A user study with 22 participants proved a good perceived usability of the virtual tour and the virtual field trip's ability to transfer knowledge. These results suggest a benefit of employing virtual field trips in geoscientific university courses. In addition, it is conceivable to use the virtual field trip as a tool for science communication in the context of participatory processes during nuclear waste disposal site selection processes.
