- In this report, the first section describes the project context i.e. industrial symbiosis, the main foreseen outputs and the governance around social engagement and acceptance. Industrial Symbiosis is an emerging concept with a multitude of benefits for companies, communities and the local environment. It can be a very powerful and important strategic approach to promoting sustainability in the European Union. For this reason, the FISSAC project is highly relevant, bringing together a wide range of partners and countries. Industrial Symbiosis (IS) can be initiated by a public authority, private firm, or association. Research to date rarely focuses on the interactions between the highly predominant technical aspect of industrial symbiosis and the non-technical aspects (including social engagement and acceptance); despite this being a key element of success of an IS project. Due to the low level of knowledge on social engagement and acceptance held by the majority of the partners of FISSAC, the Social Advisory Board plays a strategic role to orientate the integration of these aspects throughout the project. Beyond the technical feasibility of the exchanges, social elements also play a crucial role in the development of IS networks (Domenech and Davies, 2009) and therefore understanding of such elements is essential for the further development of IS. Hence, the second section describes the stakeholder engagement strategy, which establishes the objectives of stakeholder engagement and indicates how the involvement of stakeholders will be achieved at each stage of the project. A Five-step approach is used: 1. Develop a vision 2. Map stakeholders 3. Prepare for the engagement 4. Engage stakeholders 5. Monitoring and evaluation The third section describes how we will define the next steps of the project and what are the actions already foreseen. The diversity of the tasks and the wide range of countries and partners underline the need to clarify the responsibilities of each partner in the contribution of social engagement and acceptance. It is why this document summarises the implication of each partner.
