Reflecting on use-inspired research in ecology

Use-inspired research that is co-designed and co-implemented by producers and users of information requires a revolution! Science cannot continue with business as usual. The lessons learned from the short presentations in this ignite session will be synthesized under four simple messages, reflective of the call for a "scientific revolution" put forward in the World Social Science Report 2013: Frame the change. Enable change. Build capacity for change. And: Be the change. This applies to universities, departments, professional societies, funders, and science-policy makers. Opportunities abound as research funding, the needs of science users, and education are shifting. The time is now.
