Through collaboration across these disciplines, SKAPE seeks to deliver the following objectives:Produce theoretically informed, critical research on the relationship between science, knowledge and policy.Deliver training and teaching through a range of targeted channels.Engage with the policy community to provide expertise and advice on knowledge use and exchange.
