“…Criteria to obtain funding were (among others): ''to contribute to the development of transdisciplinary cooperation, high-quality collaboration with partners from public services and private [services] and prospects of implementing research results as applicable technologies, products and services '' (BMBF 2008). 2 After completion of the GD project, the BMBF financed an independent study, which aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the stakeholder dialogue in all five GLOWA projects and other BMBF programs (Maschke et al 2013). 3 This study focused on the implementation of the GLOWA projects' results in practical management and how they were used after the projects were terminated.…”

Global change impacts on the Upper Danube Catchment (Central Europe): a study of participatory modeling

et al. 2015

Participatory modeling (PM) has become an essential concept in environmental impact assessment and planning in the field of water resources. In this paper, we focus on the use of PM to support the development of the integrated regional modeling system DANUBIA as a scientific concept to analyze the previously unknown impacts of global change, i.e., the combined effects of climate, demographic, economic, social and ecological change, on the Upper Danube Catchment (Germany). We use this case study to examine the specific conditions for PM in the field of complex integrated models on a regional scale. We describe the stepwise PM process and discuss the respective results, focusing on (1) the stakeholder dialogue's contribution in supporting the development of new, complex modeling systems, particularly on a regional scale, (2) conditions of stakeholder involvement in issues related to the distant future, such as climate change impacts on regional water availability, and (3) limitations of PM and scientists' motivation to carry out participatory research at all. We conclude that the PM process was not entirely successful in improving the scientific quality and practical applicability of the developed models because the process goals were manifold and overambitious, and the definition of the problem of ''global change impacts on a regional scale'' was too weak and uncertain to allow for a clear common objective of modelers and stakeholders. We claim that there is a lack of incentives for scientists, particularly natural scientists, to commit to PM activities.
