Abstract: There are many strategies for integrating knowledge to influence policy, but which ones are likely to be most effective and does context matter? What skills do knowledge producers (academics and others) need to develop to enable them to explain clearly to policy makers what their findings mean in practical terms for policy development? In turn, what skills do public policy makers need to develop to understand the meaning of research outcomes and how these can be integrated into public policy? Most importantly how do we use knowledge to address 'wicked problems', those which are complex and often polarise views, and include climate change, environmental issues and increasing demands on health care? Or is academic work destined to be 'lost in translation'?
