They do it to gain insights and knowledge Most of all, co-production requires individual scientists to see the and, they hope, to make the world a better place.

Grant applications and project assessments ask Co-production can take many forms. Climate scientists, for example, are partnering with farmers to tailor projects to focus on for explanations of the work’s probable societal impact, and commercial funding frequently comes with a desired application as a goal. ■ Permet une recherche plus adaptée aux their specific circumstances, such as the changes in precipitation that are likely in a warming world. A World View on page 9 explores how Co-production is better for society. It also leads to better research — both technically, because it accounts for more factors, and ethically, besoins garantissant une meilleure researchers worked with farmers in northeast Argentina to produce because it’s more equitable.

Forgotten crime Co-production is less suited to some scientific pursuits, but it can be a powerful way to make results more relevant and practicable across a spread of disciplines. Some call it science that is actionable. At present, too much research done in the name of society is not used by society.
