Insights from a science policy interface in-the-making (June 2024)
Research to address societal challenges requires thinking about ‘impact’ in a purposeful and integrated way from the outset.

This summary reports on research that traced the changes in how Sustainable Seas research was performed in terms of who was involved, what was produced, and efforts to ensure purposeful impact.
