Translating Research into Action
Translating Research into Action
The Action Research Center (ARC) is an academy reimagined.
The ARC is a new collaborative model for researchers, activists, and policymakers from across the globe, combining inquiry with creative problem solving for measurable impact. The ARC is rigorously focused on translating research into action, bringing advocacy to life through partners in media, entertainment, politics, business, and nonprofits. This approach brings together the private, public, and social sectors to create meaningful change.
The Action Research Center incorporates Planet Reimagined fellows into on-going projects and virtual teams to incubate or generate new ideas in existing Planet Reimagined focus areas, helping to develop new solutions across disciplines. Fellows receive training in advocacy and communications skills and learn from technical experts around the world, to build the vital climate leadership skills that the movement needs.
Planet Reimagined Fellowships attract 1000s of candidates from more than 100 countries.
ARC impact projects are focused on translating research into action to move forward changes in policy and practice through sophisticated advocacy strategies and publicly accessible campaigns using targeted communications tactics, including producing digital content and multimedia assets.
The scale of the climate crises demands unconventional partnerships, innovations, and solutions from communities, technology, business, universities, governments, and individuals, with an energized global movement to drive solutions forward.
