More (MCDA) is a general framework for supporting complex decision-making situations with multiple and often conflicting objectives that stakeholder groups and/or decision-makers value differently. MCDA methods are integrative evaluation methods in the sense that they combine information about the performance of the alternatives with respect to the criteria with subjective judgments about the relative importance of the evaluation criteria in the particular decision-making context.

An event involving possibly all the different stakeholders interested in the analysed issue. The interactive workshop is using both systematically collected empirical material (surveys, interviews, document-analysis, etc.) and stakeholders’ knowledge to gain new insights, to increase engagement and add legitimacy to the decision-making. It uses several different participatory methods.
