Abstract
The linkage between environmental research and environmental policy is conceived as part of a model of policy formation within which four distinct domains interact: the bureaucratic, the economic, the academic and the civic, with the bureaucratic domain being responsible for policy delivery. Supranational and sub-national effects are missing from this model, considering recent initiatives at the EU level, which have spurred ‘green research’ within the academic cultures of member countries. Furthermore, research on the interaction between the bureaucratic and academic domains is in its infancy. This paper addresses these issues by analysing the main funding sources of environmental research in Greece, and the roles and capacity of researchers from the natural and social sciences. Various indicators are employed to assess the impact of environmental research on policy, including the formalization of the process by which research results are utilized, and the researchers’ views on such issues as the value of research and its use by the government, interdisciplinarities and future direction of environmental research.
