“…They are composed of three sub‐strings that match with the key elements of the primary research question. The search terms used for the sub‐string on the Intervention part (sub‐string 1) include different keywords associated with SkE and have already been used in three literature reviews investigating SkE in SESs (Grünhagen et al., 2022; Schwermer et al., 2020; Sterling et al., 2017). The search terms used for the Population part is composed of keywords related to the aquatic realms in France (sub‐string 2a) and of keywords defining the French territories (i.e.…”

Stakeholder engagement (SkE) in research is currently experiencing significant growth within the fields of environmental and sustainability sciences. Stakeholder engagement ensures the relevance of research questions to societal expectations and the uptake and salience of the co‐produced knowledge and results for their use in the decision‐making process. In a context of societal challenges regarding biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of marine and freshwater social‐ecological systems (SESs), participatory approaches constitute key methods in applied research involving actions and decision‐making. There are, however, many gaps in the practical, conceptual and ethical ways stakeholders have been involved in research. We propose here a systematic map of the literature on SkE in research on marine and aquatic SESs carried out on French European and overseas territories, in order to draw up the first comprehensive overview of how SkE has developed and changed since 1945. This systematic map will identify a representative list of scientific articles on SkE in French marine and freshwater social‐ecological research. The literature search will include both academic literature (e.g. peer‐reviewed articles, reviews, meta‐analyses) and grey literature (e.g. reports, working papers) using the most relevant search engines for the scientific literature published between 1945 and 2023. Retrieved publications will be reviewed for relevance according to a predefined set of eligibility/ineligibility criteria by a group of trained reviewers. The eligibility check will be done in two successive screening steps: (1) title and abstract and (2) full text, each independently performed by two reviewers. All retained literature will be subjected to coding and metadata extraction using the Sysrev platform. No validity assessment will be undertaken. A database of the metadata extracted will be provided, along with a narrative description of the evidence base, and a set of figures and tables summarizing the relevant characteristics of the studies. This systematic map will provide a reliable overview of SkE conducted in research projects on French aquatic social‐ecological systems to strengthen the science–society relationship and help future research projects implement efficient and sustainable SkE processes in France and elsewhere.

“…The term transdisciplinarity was first introduced to the public debate in the 1970s. However, it was not until almost a quarter of a century later that the topic gained broader recognition, marked by the first global congress on transdisciplinarity in 1994, which was documented in the "Manifesto of Transdisciplinarity" (Grünhagen et al, 2022;Nicolescu, 2002;Lawrence et al, 2022;Hernández-Aguilar et al 2022). Nevertheless, a consensus on the definition of transdisciplinary research and its distinction from interdisciplinary research is still lacking.…”

“…In transdisciplinary research, non-university interest groups are included, e.g. groups from tourism, agriculture or fisheries for the marine research sector (Grünhagen et al, 2022). Therefore, transdisciplinary research functions as an addition to rather than a substitution for the well-established disciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary scientific approaches (Lawrence et al, 2022).…”

“…Academic research plays a key role in this context by providing knowledge on these topics (Lawrence et al, 2022). Nevertheless, owing to the intricate nature of the challenges (so called "wicked problems" (Lawrence et al, 2022;Grünhagen et al, 2022)), academia alone has not yet achieved the identification of comprehensive and optimal solutions for all stakeholders that can be implemented by practitioners (Lawrence et al, 2022).…”

“…Based on interviews with both scientists and stakeholders, we investigated two questions: 1) Does stakeholder involvement in scientific projects yield additional knowledge, and 2) what are the success factors in facilitating this collaboration? (Grünhagen et al, 2022).…”

The holistic solution of complex, global problems in marine topics requires innovative research formats - which can be served by transdisciplinarity. To assess the success of the transdisciplinary approach for marine research, several case studies from marine research at Kiel University (Germany) were analysed for this study. Interviews with both scientists and stakeholders were carried out to 1) clarify whether stakeholder involvement in scientific projects provides additional knowledge and to 2) identify the underlying success factors. Both groups see added value in transdisciplinary projects and name positive aspects of cooperation, mutual interaction and information exchange. Essential are the applicability of research results, and the formation and maintenance of networks enabling further joint activities. Stakeholders add practical contexts to scientific knowledge so that the results of this transdisciplinary research can be translated into practical actions. Resource availability sets clear limits within the project framework. Successful transdisciplinary approaches require standardized definitions of terms, the selection of suitable participation formats and continuous, clear communication. Transdisciplinary projects proved suitable as a tool for sensitizing the general public and raising awareness of complex marine challenges.

1.The living lab method (German: “Reallabor”) is a proven tool from sustainability research. Although it offers a lot of potential for application to complex challenges in marine conservation, it has scarcely been used in this context so far. 2.This article presents the project "Reallabor Eckernförder Bucht 2030", which is the first living lab addressing the areas of sea, coast and land together. 3.The project was developed in co-design between science, ministries and other stakeholders. 4.It was possible to show that the Living lab method is suitable for a multi-stakeholder dialogue with many interlinked challenges, e.g. agriculture, fisheries, nature protection and tourism.5.Synthesis and applications: The living lab method is suitable for addressing complex challenges addressing the areas of sea, coast and land together in a geographically limited space. A cooperation between science, society and administration helps to tackle environmental problems by identifying solutions that a) have a high societal acceptance, b) are based on interdisciplinary scientific knowledge, and c) fulfil administrative rules and conditions. The "Reallabor Eckernförder Bucht 2030" serves as a blueprint for projects also on international level.
