This document addresses the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) requirement to develop a knowledge brokering and communication strategy. Knowledge brokering and communication activities are recognised as essential to the success of the NESP.

The key objective of the NESP is to deliver accessible results that inform decisions leading to positive environmental change through an improved understanding of Australia’s environment. The NESP Guidelines state the knowledge brokering and communication strategy should illustrate how the hub will contribute to building relationships and knowledge-sharing networks between researchers, government, industry and communities. The strategy should also detail how the hub will facilitate adoption of research outcomes by environmental decision makers across government, industry and communities.
