Public Engagement tips from CO2CRC

29 Apr 2011 | Peter Cook

One of the best ways of building capabilities and sharing knowledge is through practical examples and information.  In this blog post, Dr Peter Cook, a leading geologist and the Chief Executive of the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC) talks openly about the public engagement approach implemented at the CO2CRC Otway Project, and shares his broader views on communicating and engaging with local communities.

The CO2CRC Otway Project is a world-leading international research project investigating the geological storage of carbon dioxide. It is widely praised and referenced for its effective public engagement activities.

I am sure you will find Peter's views and opinions insightful and helpful for people involved in communications and public engagement in CCS.  Further information on the Otway Project is available on the CO2CRC website.
