The transdisciplinary research could make a significant methodological impact on the international science-for-policy domain (linking with the International Land Use Centre). To realise this potential, the QST processes need to be formally monitored and evaluated. An evaluation framework will be implemented for QST, with data on both impact and methodological effectiveness collected over the course of the QST cycles and synthesised as both high profile research papers and as good practice guidance. The commitments to Open Science and responding to policy-led queries in a timely manner are also conducted through this WP (see Technical Approach).
