  3. What is knowledge exchange? “A set of policies and practices which enable the efficient and effective exchange and co-creation of knowledge between producers and users: a virtuous circle of multiple-track engagement between knowledge producers (typically scientists, but potentially all academics) and knowledge users (typically policy makers, practitioners, stakeholders, businesses, social enterprises and other publics) so that the boundaries between the producers and users ultimately become merged.” (Hagen)

  4.
