Toolkit for Community Engaged Research

This is an evolving resource for marine energy researchers and engineers to help understand end-users and think more broadly about communities and different tools for engagement.

It was curated in the Fall 2025 – Spring 2026 as a student/faculty research collaboration from the University of Washington’s Human Centered Design and Engineering Department.

For further information about this toolkit, see the project brief: Technology Impacts, Community Futures: Engaging Marine Energy Researchers on Community Concerns
