A digital infrastructure to support mediation at the science-policy interface

Intermediaries or knowledge brokers at the science-policy interface are increasingly acknowledged as indispensable professionals for bridging boundaries between researchers and decision-makers. Alongside their distinctive skills and profound understanding of how the science-policy interface operates, a digital infrastructure could play an essential role in curating and sustaining an ever-growing corpus of expert knowledge. Repod is a centralised repository in Germany that was collaboratively created by a multidisciplinary team of researchers and developers. It serves as a central access point to scientific knowledge tailored for policymakers.
