Factors influencing participation: Opportunities and barriers for active subsidiarity in just sustainability transition policies (opens in new window)The report ‘Factors influencing participation’ summarises and synthesises the results of the DUST WP2. It identifies opportunities for promoting active subsidiarity in just sustainability transitions as well as factors that matter for the participation of least engaged communities.
Methodological framework (opens in new window)The DUST methodological framework combines and synergises the different strands of the DUST research. It provides guidance for organising the project’s workflow and exchanging knowledge between its WPs.
Synthesis research report (opens in new window)The DUST synthesis research report reviews and synthesises findings from the overall DUST project. It presents final insights in a concise, online, visual and interactive open access publication to diverse audiences.
Policy briefs: Expanding the participation of least engaged communities in just sustainability transitions (opens in new window)The policy briefs on expanding the participation of least engaged communities in just sustainability transitions provide practical co-created policy recommendations for proactively and strategically positioning communities in debates on multi-level transition policies, thereby enhancing local adaptive capacity and regional resilience. Addressees are policymakers, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and other facilitators of participatory processes across Europe.
Position papers: Community-led just sustainability transition policies (opens in new window)These position papers present conclusions from the Regional Futures Literacy Labs (RFLLs). They report on how to reflect better least engaged communities’ views and needs in EU, national and regional/local place-based approaches to just sustainability transitions. Addressees are decision-makers in the political and administrative spheres.
Academic dissemination plan (opens in new window)The deliverable of the DUST Academic dissemination plan includes one open access edited book, sixteen open access papers in journals that are leading in DUST-relevant disciplines, and the participation of DUST researchers in appropriate conferences and events.
Citizen survey: Assessing participation in just sustainability transition policies (opens in new window)The DUST citizen survey delivers original empirical knowledge on citizens’ participation in the deliberative governance of place-based policies for sustainability transitions.
Evaluation and handbook of Regional Futures Literacy Labs (RFLLs): Design-led territorial and digital instruments for citizen participation in just sustainability transitions (opens in new window)This handbook presents an evaluation of the design-led and digital territorial instruments for citizen participation that were tested in the Regional Futures Literacy Labs (RFLLs). Drawing on a comparison of the qualitative and quantitative results from the experiments, it formulates recommendations for increased ownership of and co-creation in place-based just sustainability transition policies.
Actor-Process-Event Schemes (APES): Mappings of processes and actor networks in multi-level just sustainability transition policies (opens in new window)The Actor-Process-Event Schemes (APES) tool analyses and visualises participation in policy-making. DUST APES show processes of event participation as well as networks of involved actors in the planning and implementation of multi-level place-based policies for sustainability transitions in eight case study regions.
Civic participation of least engaged communities in the deliberative governance of just sustainability transitions: (Digital) facilitators and barriers (opens in new window)This report presents the results of an in-depth assessment of the participation of least engaged communities in the deliberative governance of just sustainability transition measures in eight case study regions. It identifies facilitators of and barriers to participation in the design and implementation of key policy measures, with emphasis on digitalisation as a determining factor for participation.
The Stakeholder Engagement and Participation (STEP) Index is a tool for measuring stakeholder engagement and participation. It is custom-tailored to assess engagement and participation in just sustainability transition policies from a comparative perspective.
The deliverable ‘Beyond DUST’ consists of a series of events and publications that strategically increase outreach of the project after its conclusion. Events include online and offline seminars, a final conference, and on/offline exhibitions. Publications present concise summaries of results as well as advisory on how to use these, in the form of online handbooks, policy briefs, videos and reports.
Imaginations of community-led just sustainability transitions: Curated visualisations of the results of the Regional Futures Literacy Labs (RFLLs) (opens in new window)This deliverable is a curated selection of the visual results that were produced during the course of WP 4 and 5 (the Regional Futures Literacy Labs, RFLLs). The compilation of spatial representations, regional designs, and visual story lines is suited to form part of a public exhibition.
Community champions network (opens in new window)The DUST Community champions network is formed during a campaign that reaches out to and connects existing initiatives and local community leaders in case study regions.

Communication package: Project website, social media channels, and visual identity kit (opens in new window)The DUST communication package sets out the project’s visual identity and guidelines for visual communication to ensure a professional and uniform communication and dissemination style. The package includes the DUST website, which provides up-to-date key information on the project and its outputs to diverse target audiences in divers countries, as well as material that supports communication and dissemination via social media channels.
The deliverable of the DUST Academy consists of tutored capacity-building workshops, a set of coordinated teaching modules, and a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). The elements of the academy are designed to increase knowledge and skills needed for the uptake DUST results, and to sensitise future leaders to the challenges of and innovations in citizen participation in the deliberative governance of just sustainability transitions.
The DUST regional designs imagine the impact of community-led just sustainability transitions policies on the development of four regions. Designs draw on input from the four DUST Regional Futures Literacy Labs (RFLL) – the identified expectations and hopes, anticipatory assumptions and new questions of least-engaged communities in regions – and are presented in visual representations and story lines that are meaningful for communities and support their positioning in policy debate.
Spatial representation of the just sustainability transition policy context in case study regions (opens in new window)This deliverable is a geographic data base that combines information on the spatial implications of ongoing and upcoming just sustainability transition measures in the four case study regions where the DUST Regional Futures Literacy Labs (RFLL) happen.
