Leading the collaboration process, as well as participating in the court proceedings, the Swedish County Administrative Boards (CAB) are key actors in the NAP who can contribute both valuable information to our research, as well as benefit from it. We have therefore created a reference group with confirmed participation of NAP coordinators from 15 CAB and two representatives from the Swedish Water Authorities. Throughout the research process we consult and involve representatives from the reference group directly to continuously ensure the practical relevance of our research.
We also aim to reach and inform a larger number of stakeholders involved in, or affected by, the NAP – including industry, water councils, non-governmental organizations, governmental bodies at different levels of public administration, as well as local communities and Sami representatives – of the results of our research.
