Outreach and communication support
Outreach support
BECC welcomes initiatives that results in interactions with stakeholders. Resources allocated to Themes can be used to such activities, but you are always welcome to contact us for more information, for example helping you to find potential stakeholders to contact.
Contact Juliana Dänhardt for more information.

Also consider the Lund University Sustainability Forum, which is coordinated at CEC.
Stakeholder interaction guide
In many research projects, stakeholder interaction is ad hoc rather than strategic and systematic. This guide provides advice on good practice, strategies and tools for researchers and research groups interested in finding effective ways to involve stakeholders in their research and have an impact on society.
The guide was written by Daniel Slunge (UGOT), Olof Drakenberg (UGOT), Anders Ekbom (UGOT), Maria Göthberg (UGOT), Åsa Knaggård (LU) and Ullrika Sahlin (LU). It was produced as part of the BECC financed research project STAKE – Practices and Barriers to Stakeholder Interaction – Challenges for Research Projects.
MERGE arranges events and meetings to make sure researchers and its stakeholders are updated on the latest research findings, and to facilitate the important cooperation and interaction within the research environment and with its stakeholders.
We are working on finishing routines and templates for synthesis and policy briefs. More information will soon be available.
Communication support
If you are funded by MERGE, please acknowledge MERGE in your papers and presentations. MERGE researchers are always welcomed and encouraged to highlight their MERGE affiliation, for example in relevant talks and publications:
- “X is supported by the Swedish government funded Strategic Research Area: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system, MERGE.”
- “The research presented in this paper is a contribution to the Strategic Research Area: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system, MERGE, funded by the Swedish government.”
MERGE has a couple of communication channels where we communicate updates from the research environment on a regular basis. We welcome all input on content.

A Future Manual for Future Models
On the yearly meeting 2022, one of the creators behind a future modeling manual presented their work. The manual is a result between two artists and modelers to explore linkages between Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) and art and design practices, and to propose an artistic contribution to the world of IAMs. This manual is the final result. Hopefully, it can provide modelers with some new inspiration in their work:
