Navigating the science policy interface: a co-created mind-map to support early career research contributions to policy-relevant evidence.

ABSTRACT: The interface between science and policy is a complex space, in theory and practice, that sees the interaction of various actors and perspectives coming together to enable policy-relevant evidence to support decision-making. Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are increasingly interested in working at the science-policy interface to support evidence-informed policy, with the number of opportunities to do so increasing at national and international levels. However, there are still many challenges limiting ECRs participation, not least how such a complex space can be accessed and navigated. While recommendations for engaging at the science-policy interface already exist, a practical 'map' of the science-policy interface landscape which would allow for ECR participation in evidence co-production
