Bridging the gap between science and policy requires professional knowledge brokering. Establishing this role, supported by institutions and funders, can enhance the application of research findings.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Social Science
  • Policy Studies

Background:

  • Scientific knowledge is often underutilized in policy and management decisions.
  • Despite incentives, knowledge exchange between science and policy/practice remains limited within academia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose the establishment and professionalization of knowledge brokering.
  • To identify strategies for stimulating scientists' interest in research application.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of science-policy interfaces.
  • Review of existing knowledge exchange mechanisms.
  • Proposal for institutionalizing knowledge brokering roles.

Main Results:

  • Knowledge brokering can serve as a crucial link between research and application.
Keywords:
