Sustainability challenges blur the boundaries between academic
disciplines, between research, policy, and practice, and between
states, markets, and society. What do exemplary scientists and
organizations do to bridge the gaps between these groups and help
their research to make the greatest impact? How do they do it? And
how can their best practices be adapted for a diverse range of
specific sustainability challenges?

Enhancing Science Impact: Bridging Research, Policy and Practice
for Sustainability addresses these questions in an accessible
and engaging way. It provides principles explaining how research
programs can work more effectively across the boundaries between
science, society, and decision-making by building social and
institutional networks. The book suggests ways of defining and
thinking about problems and then offers five frameworks for
embedding science within specific governance contexts. It will be
an indispensable guide for researcher leaders, science program
managers, and science policy advisers interested in ensuring
applied research can meaningfully contribute to sustainability
outcomes.
