Introduction:
Key elements of expertise for working with multiple disciplines and stakeholders to tackle complex societal and environmental problems will be described. These include harnessing and managing diversity, synthesising disciplinary and stakeholder knowledge, systems thinking, understanding and managing multiple unknowns, and appreciating the complexities of how change happens.
