The Smart Light Concepts (SLIC) project focuses on making the lighting of public spaces more sustainable. But municipalities and provinces cannot simply adapt the street lighting: they need the support of citizens and other stakeholders. In public space, residents and users who share the same streets and squares can have conflicting interests. That is why it is important to engage in a systematic dialogue with stakeholders when it comes to installation of or modifications to public lighting. This video is part of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) of the SLIC project and part of the series of the theme Finance. In this video, Ger-Jan van den Elsen, Lecturer Higher Vocational Education at Avans explains the definition of stakeholders and gives an introduction to the Six steps stakeholder engagement plan.
The European research project Smart Light Concept (SLIC) is closed in 2022. It was a practical research collaboration between 2 knowledge institutions, 6 local authorities and 1 grid operator. They worked together in researching what investment in sustainable public lighting can contribute to reducing carbon emissions. They have saved more than 40% on their energy bill by installing energy-efficient LED lighting that suited their location. At the same time, it was important to know what the new smart lighting means for the safety of citizens, biodiversity and whether it offers value for money. These aspects were included in our research that was conducted over 3 years. For more information on the end results, visit Home | SLIC (smartlightconcepts.eu).
