Project output

Create Acceptance has been finalized succesfully in 2008. The main outcome of the project is the ESTEEM tool (Engage stakeholders through a systematic toolbox to manage new energy projects). This tool is developed for projects managers of new energy projects who want to improve the societal acceptance of their project by stimulating the participate of stakeholders. The ESTEEM tool, including the complete manual of the tool and interesting background information is freely available via www.esteem-tool.eu.
