- the preparation of guidelines and good practices that will help to define more effectively how citizens, consumers/end users, and stakeholders can be involved in the implementation of Hydrogen technologies;
- the creation of a social platform collecting communication materials (videos, news, scientific papers) on new hydrogen technologies, developed according to the early findings of the public engagement activities;
- the definition of indicators to be used for Hydrogen Social Life Cycle Assessment for public acceptance and informed decision-making.
