Stakeholder identification and analysis have been carried out based on inputs from all partners, existing networks, previous and on-going projects and with advice from external resource experts.

Diverse groups and individuals have been  selected for stakeholder involvement activities to ensure broad representation from relevant societal settings.

Ongoing, close collaboration with exisiting and future users and clients of ecosystem services valuation is key to OPERAs. OPERAs has created a User Board as a continuous instrument for inputs and exchanges with key stakeholders that will practice ecosystem services evaluation and those that potentially request and buy these services.
