RESTOREID Knowledge Exchange Needs Survey

in collaboration with ZOE and BioAgora on the needs assessment for a Knowledge Exchange Network (KEN) on restoration and zoonotic disease. This survey aims to gather insights from key stakeholders to help develop an active network that effectively supports the evidence base, resource management, sustainability, and the exchange of existing knowledge among projects and relevant stakeholders in the fields of restoration and zoonotic diseases.

A Knowledge Exchange Network (KEN) is more than just a data-sharing platform; it serves as a tool to enhance resource management, evidence base and ensure the use and uptake of existing knowledge.

The KEN’s added value will continue to grow as it evolves, providing the following key benefits:

- Projects Legacy Framework: The network will ensure long-term projects impact through continuous knowledge exchange within the topical network.
- Comprehensive Knowledge Exchange with Policy and Society: It will act as a one-stop shop, facilitating interactions between science, policy, and society.
- Inclusive Network: The KEN will nurture an inclusive community of stakeholders working towards common goals in biodiversity, restoration, and zoonotic disease management.
- Policy Engagement: The platform will create a community capable of addressing policy needs, closing knowledge gaps, and defining research priorities, in line with the upcoming expectations from the European Commission's Science Service for Biodiversity.

This survey will focus on promoting collaboration, sharing best practices, and ensuring the sustainability of restoration efforts, while engaging experts and stakeholders at the intersection of restoration and zoonotic diseases. Your participation is essential to help shape the Knowledge Exchange Network to meet the needs of all involved.
