欧盟的AquaTerra项目产生了关于河流-土壤-沉积物-地下水系统的知识，并提供了对流域管理有价值的科学信息。本文从理论上探讨了科学知识在决策中的运用和忽视。我们详细阐述了“两个共同体理论”，该理论通过联系和比较研究人员和政策制定者的不同文化、语境和语言来解释政策-科学界面的问题。在AquaTerra内部，欧盟POL分项目审查政策-科学接口，目的是实现该项目的科学成果与欧盟政策之间的良好联系。我们发现了两大障碍，即语言和资源，以及两种类型的相关关系：不同研究群体之间的障碍和研究人员与政策制定者之间的关系。
The EU Project AquaTerra generates knowledge about the river–soil–sediment–groundwater system and delivers scientific information of value for river basin management. In this article, the use and ignorance of scientific knowledge in decision making is explored by a theoretical review. We elaborate on the ‘two-communities theory’, which explains the problems of the policy–science interface by relating and comparing the different cultures, contexts, and languages of researchers and policy makers. Within AquaTerra, the EUPOL subproject examines the policy–science interface with the aim of achieving a good connection between the scientific output of the project and EU policies. We have found two major barriers, namely language and resources, as well as two types of relevant relationships: those between different research communities and those between researchers and policy makers.
