Questionnaire related to Süsser et al. (2021) on the impact of COVID-19 on stakeholder engagement in European energy research

The questionnaire was designed as a collaboration between researchers of the EU H2020 projects SENTINEL and PANDORA to study the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the stakeholder engagement in energy and fishery research. We developed it as an explorative, semi-quantitative, self-completion online questionnaire, using the online tool “LimeSurvey”. The study by Süsser et al. (2021) investigates the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on European energy research, in particular the stakeholder work, during the first wave of the coronavirus in spring and summer 2020. The questionnaire presented here has been adapted to the energy research context. We performed an online survey study among people responsible for stakeholder engagement who work in energy research projects across Europe. A similar questionnaire has been adapted and applied for the study by Köpsel et al. (2021) on "Stakeholder engagement vs. social distancing—how does the Covid-19 pandemic affect participatory research in EU marine science projects?".
