Abstract

This report presents the research aims, methods, and outcomes of CONCERT sub-subtask 9.3.2.3 (Task 2.3 of the TERRITORIES project), based on lab/fieldwork conducted by lab engagement researchers (students and their supervisors) in three research laboratories: 1) Laboratory of Environmental Physics, University of Tartu (Estonia); 2) Biosphere Impact Studies group, Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK-CEN (Belgium); 3) Environmental Radioactivity and Radiological Surveillance Unit (Spain). The report makes explicit how, through social science intervention (sociotechnical integration research; STIR), social and ethical considerations are, and can be, integrated into ongoing radiological protection research with the benefit of improving scientific modelling and assessment.
