- Dig deeper: there is a need to understand theoretical underpinnings to perception
- Stay local: only then can you understand perception of specific projects
- Trust is very important in information provision, as is underlying attitudes
- It is important to explore the extent to which social science is presented/discussed effectively in the media
- There is a need to understand the socio-cultural context
- There is a need to map the politics of CCS
- All methodologies are necessary, and there is a need to expand methodologies used.
