The key practices in focus are interactive in the sense that they engage science, civil society organizations, stakeholders, citizens, parliaments and/or governments directly in the activities in order to activate different kinds of knowledge, engage the actors, create common ownership to the results and enhance the communication between the societal actors.

The three main methodological clusters in PTA – expert based methods, stakeholder involvement, and citizen consultations – were respectively exemplified by 3 cross-European projects:
