Bridging Science and Implementation through Technical Transfer
To maximize the benefits of conservation efforts, land managers must be able to integrate relevant science, data, and other information into policy, planning, and implementation decision making. However, the systems and institutions where knowledge is generated and land management decisions are made are not often well integrated. Dedicated time, capacity, and skills are needed to bridge science and implementation.
The IWJV bridges science and implementation through technical transfer. Technical (“tech”) transfer is the process of transferring science, data, technology, best practices, and other technical information to end-users who influence land management. When done successfully, technical transfer expands awareness and integration of this information and facilitates adoption of practices that strengthen on-the-ground outcomes of management activities.
Meet the Science to Implementation Team
IWJV’s Science to Implementation (S2I) Team is here to support our partners!
We work with partners one-on-one to identify and address barriers to integrating science, data, tools, and other information into management policy, planning, and implementation. Reach out to our team to learn more about how we can support your science-to-implementation needs.
What we provide:
Support for spatial prioritization and using maps for decision support
Technical training through one-on-one sessions, webinars, and workshops
Science synthesis and integration into conservation policy, planning, and implementation
Science communications and outreach
Decision support tool development, training, and outreach
Support and facilitation of science co-production
