Many people are unsure about the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF), although no risks can be proven as long as the legal limits for exposure are adhered to. As part of a new research project commissioned by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS), the ConPolicy Institute is investigating what insights can be gained from 20 years of social science risk communication research on EMF. The aim is to comprehensively analyze the current state of research and to develop an updated research agenda and practical recommendations for communicating the environmental compatibility of EMF. The project also includes the analysis of socio-cultural and technological developments and the implementation of a digital expert workshop. ConPolicy is supported by Prof. Dr. Constanze Rossmann (expert for risk and health communication) and Dr. Sarah Drießen (expert for the environmental compatibility of EMF).
