Abstract
In all social studies and research, the involvement of users and citizens is fundamental in order to build products and carry out research that truly considers the user at the centre of construction and definition of the research process.
But what are the different strategies used to keep users involved throughout the entire research? And what are the best engagement strategies for their involvement? Obviously, there is not a single answer to this question, but the engagement strategies depend on the characteristics of the users to be reached and the objectives to be achieved.
In this article, a literature review on this topic will be presented and the main engagement strategies that are used for user engagement will be described and analysed. This investigation of the literature will constitute the basis of the research methodologies that will be followed within the SINFONICA project, a EU-funded project that foresees co-creation and co-design processes using effective engagement methodologies that foster the exchange of visions and knowledge involving citizens and relevant stakeholders.
This study is part of the SINFONICA project that has received funding from the European Union under the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Program (Grant Agreement n° 101064988).
