disciplines, between research, policy and practice, and between
states, markets and society. What do exemplary scientists and
organisations 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:

and easily applicable guide for scientists, research managers and
science policy advisers on howto create outcomes from environmental
research Provides a conceptual model for improving the design and
