Rüdiger Goldschmidt is sociologist and has comprehensive expertise in qualitative and quantitative methods of empirical social research and integrative research, including meta analysis.
In the dissertation, he developed a criteria system for the evaluation of deliberative participatory events. The work profited from his broad experiences in the field of evaluation, including the research on large national and international participatory initiatives such as Meeting of Minds, European Citizens’ Consultation, World Wide Views I, II, III, etc.
His substantial research activities at DIALOGIK and ZIRIUS are focused on
- deliberation and participation
- knowledge transfer and development
- attitude research on technologies and risks, but also sustainable development, including CSR
- stakeholder governance, science and risk communication
- interactive acceptance development.
Most of his projects request for interdisciplinary cooperative thinking and working. He works as lecturer at the university, consultant for organisations and he moderates events.
