This report reviews relevant knowledge and identifies issues for consideration in implementing the European Environment Agency's new mission to facilitate the dissemination of policy-relevant environmental scientific research. It begins by examining and analysing literature relating to research-policy interactions, primarily from the social sciences; it then relates experiences from disseminating the research of the UK Global Environmental Change program. After summarising existing European environmental research and dissemination efforts, it concludes by offering recommendations to the European Environment Agency on how to proceed with its mandate.
