The review article explores the differences between university startup entrepreneurs and corporate entrepreneurs, and why the latter are more successful.

Making research evidence accessible and relevant to policymakers is one way that the scientific enterprise confers direct societal benefits.

Local authorities are expected to lead on net-zero delivery, irrespective of their capacity to do so. This paper addresses the extent to which they can act on climate change and how policy entrepreneurs can exert agency.

Intergovernmental science policy organizations assess and mediate knowledge for decision makers, especially their member governments. The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is known as a trailblazer in acknowledging plural knowledge systems because of the multiple evidence base approach it has adopted, which has challenged the older operating principles of credibility, policy relevance, and legitimacy. This paper juxtaposes those principles and the multiple evidence base to study their context-sensitive synergies and tensions, based on experts’ perceptions of IPBES operations.

This study identifies five turnarounds which could fundamentally alter humanity's trajectory: ending poverty, reducing inequality, empowering women, and transforming global food and energy systems.

This study asked UK policymakers if there are common topics for which evidence is requested over time that cut across government departments or agencies, and if there is a preferred style in the way evidence is requested?

Research on the conditions for effective engagement between research and policy demonstrates whether policymakers should be involved earlier in the creation of research projects.

New research by ESMT Berlin and Politecnico di Milano explores how non-experts assess scientific research proposals and reveals key implications for public participation in science funding.

A study published in Science finds that twice as much of the world’s glacier mass could be preserved by meeting the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement.

Peer review is crucial for academic communities to ensure high-quality research. Drawing on 39 semi-structured interviews, the study investigates how reviewers for three publishing outlets in psychology experience the tension between community responsibility and various priorities of a more individual kind.

In the early days of NSF, its leaders dreamed of large-scale federal investment in basic science but had to carve out a place for the new foundation in the complicated landscape of US science funding.

Nation prevented far more in medical spending and lost productivity than it spent on testing, buying & delivering the 2021 vaccines.

This study explores the application of a behavioral pattern language approach as a means to enhance intervention efficacy and support policymakers and practitioners who seek to solve problems at scales that cross diverse contexts.

Many complex problems and emerging phenomena require joint research efforts across academic disciplines. Interdisciplinary research (IDR) is therefore widely considered a promising approach to knowledge production. This paper reviews the literature on IDR from the perspective of individual researchers engaging in or considering this type of research.
