Abstract
Increasingly, researchers are required to engage stakeholders in health-related research projects. "Stakeholder" in this context are those people who may be directly or indirectly affected by the planned research or the research object. This could be, for example, patients, relatives, and health personnel, but also political decision-makers. Those conducting stakeholder engagement are faced with many open questions like what activities are meant by engagement, for what purpose researchers should engage stakeholders, who should be involved, or how best to design engagement activities. From 28 to 29 March 2019 the interdisciplinary conference "Consulting or Engaging? The Role of Stakeholders in Health Research" took place at LMU Munich. The aim of the conference was to facilitate cross-disciplinary discourse on research engagement of various stakeholder groups. Different application contexts were examined, such as public health research, clinical research, health services research, and bioethical deliberation. This conference report structures and explains the main topics discussed during the conference from the perspective of the organizers. It thereby addresses the question of inclusivity and exclusivity of frequently used terms for stakeholder engagement, reflects on different strategies for justifying stakeholder engagement, and provides an overview of different approaches to stakeholder engagement as well as of methodological and practical challenges in implementing engagement activities.
