Description: Das Projekt "KNOwledge from Science to SOcitieS (KNOSSOS)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von United Nations Environment Programme - UNEP durchgeführt. Objective: KNOSSOS seeks to address the gap between science and society in the field of environmental research with a focus on policy makers and civil society, who are the main recipients of the project. We propose to take stock of available research results that are useful for policy-making. KNOSSOS will then add a knowledge management system, with innovative tools to guarantee fast and easy access to relevant information. This initial phase will also yield collaborative workshops on evidence-based policy making and training for policy makers in the field of environmental research. KNOSSOS puts an emphasis on disseminating research findings beyond Europe: through a number of 'Knowledge Fairs' as side events of international conferences, but also by including DG Research findings in one of the world s largest collections of Environmental Science Research, the Online Access to Research in the Environment (OARE). In order to ensure swift uptake of European environmental research into policy making, KNOSSOS, with its partner The Club of Rome, will issue monthly policy briefs for European, national and international policy makers. Aiming for enhanced visibility of European environmental science, KNOSSOS will appoint Environmental Science Ambassadors to the EU member states, endowed with a mission to raise public awareness about emerging environmental issues. KNOSSOS' strength lies in the composition of its consortium: UNEP, the world's leading environmental authority, joins forces with the Club of Rome, a renowned think tank with a strong reputation in giving policy advice; and with GLOBE EU/Europe, an excellent partner in training policy-makers and disseminating deliverables. KNOSSOS will have an impact on both policy makers and civil society in and beyond Europe. Our goal is to make European environmental science not only understandable, but also actionable and a preferred reference for all who seek information to pressing ecological questions of our time.
