Knowledge Brokerage for Sustainable Development : Innovative Tools for Increasing Research Impact and Promoting Evidence-Based Policy Making by Michal Sedlacko read ebook MOBI, EPUB, DOC
9781783532513 English 1783532513 Knowledge Brokerage for Sustainable Development is the first study to explore how knowledge brokerage has the potential to help manage the challenge of sustainable development across political and scientific systems. The authors analyse the concepts, experiences and recommendations of twelve EU-funded projects carried out over the last five years, to provide a clear set of practical tools for practitioners and policy-makers. They offer a broad variety of recommendations for replication in practice and interesting insights into hands-on experiences of outstanding research consortia from all over Europe. Knowledge Brokerage for Sustainable Development presents a selection of innovative and practical tools to enhance the connectivity of research and policy making on sustainable development issues. By doing so, this book will be an essential publication in research and policy making. It supports networking among the developers and users of knowledge brokerage systems and will make their experience better known to the different communities involved., Scientists and policy makers follow different rationalities and sustainable development raises significant challenges for both science and the political system. For science it represents a complex set of interrelated questions, transcending traditional disciplinary boundaries and requiring transdisciplinary approaches and methodologies to provide systemic insights and deal with high levels of complexity. For the political system, sustainable development represents a highly complex set of interrelated policy issues transcending traditional sectoral policy boundaries. Sustainable development therefore presents significant challenges to the political system, with new structures and processes for policy integration, and stakeholder participation with knowledge in high demand. Knowledge brokerage has the potential to help manage these challenges simultaneously in both social systems. Knowledge Brokerage for Sustainable Development presents a selection of innovative tools to enhance the connectivity of research and policy making on sustainable development issues. It summarizes the experiences of twelve EU funded projects and provides the first systematic analysis of knowledge brokerage experiences for sustainable development. It supports networking among the developers and users of knowledge brokerage systems with the aim of making their experience better known to the different communities involved., This is the first in-depth study to explore how knowledge brokerage has the potential to help manage the challenge of sustainable development across political and scientific systems.
