@profnavaashraf at @LSEMarshall ends her brilliant Keynote at #WCERE2018 with the conclusion that 'We can't solve global challanges without deeply understanding the end-user's decision making and motivation' we need to #CogenerateKnowledge

[Gunnar Köhlin @GunnarKohlin]

Co-generating knowledge with policy makers and practitioners allows science to naturally turn into action, policy and scale. These are the the wise concluding words of Nava Ashraf, keynote @WCERE2018 . This should be the motto for @EfD_initiative ans @SETIenergy.
