An improved and extended version of the Environmental Research database has just been launched on a new website. The database of information about 20,000+ environmental research projects and programmes funded by Defra, NERC, the Environment Agency and 17 other public-sector funders, provides a resource for anyone who is engaged in: developing public or corporate policy; planning or commissioning future research; current research; writing about environmental issues and needs to know what has been and is being done in the UK to understand the natural world and human interaction with it, and to develop solutions to environmental problems. The database can be searched for information on projects or programmes, people, organisations or outputs.

The traditional route for academic research is to be published in an academic journal, and subsequent citation of the research is seen as proof of success in academia. However, this route may mean that that the research outcomes stay solely in the realm of academia. This report seeks to understand the knowledge landscape amongst end-users of urban sustainability research in particular. In this study the potential end-users of urban sustainability research are the focus. The broad nature of urban sustainability as a discipline means that these end-users work in a wide range of fields and backgrounds across the public, private and third sectors, and include both practitioners and policy makers. This report concludes with recommendations from this research related to increasing the uptake of academic research amongst urban sustainability end-users.

The long-awaited SUE Research Dialogues report is now available. The report take a close look at the EPSRC’s multi-million pound SUE Programme, examining its achievements, wider impact, and future. The SUE Research Dialogues Workshop was designed to bring together the academics funded under the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Sustainable Urban Environment (SUE) Programme. These academics came from a wide range of disciplines that had been brought together by EPSRC to collaborate on research into sustainable urban environments with the overarching purposes of: improving the quality of life of UK citizens; supporting the sustainable development of the UK economy; and meeting the needs of users of EPSRC funded research in industry, commerce and the service sector. The Workshop sought to determine what the future of the research capacity developed by the SUE Programme might be.
