Science Into Action

Science into Action is a science impact practice whose mission is to improve the use, understanding and uptake of science and expertise to benefit you. We work with you to maximize the impact of science, engineering and technical expertise for you. We help the makers of science have impact. We help the users of science to get the right science, used in the right ways, at the right time. Fundamentally, we help you increase the impact that science has to benefit your organisation. We focus on leadership, innovation and communication as core enablers of getting science working for you. Our primary focus is in science that grows public value. We work with any type of science. The basic principles of making impact with science are the same across any area of science, engineering and technical expertise. Like everyone, we have deeper expertise and scientific strengths. They are broad across environmental science (from brown to green environment, from ecology to ecotoxicology, from sustainability to chemistry and all in between) and climate science (especially in climate adaptation planning and science). Our networks into science extend into many other disciplines. We have a long history in environmental regulation, conservation science, citizen science, climate adaptation, and co-designing science for use. We deliver everything from facilitating and building research planning and strategies, to capability-building sessions for science impact and science leadership, events that showcase scientific use and advances, targeted review and planning work for decision-makers needing science, science for management and planning, science communication inputs and framing, and expert advice and guidance for those wanting to maximise benefit from science.
