BeXchange: Adaptation and Resilience in the Context of Change Coordination Network (ARCC CN)

英国建筑环境及其基础设施的表现对国家福祉、增长议程、经济竞争力和稳定至关重要。然而，这些日益复杂和相互依赖的部门在未来10 - 50年及以后面临着严峻的挑战，如果他们要尽量减少系统性故障和中断的风险，并能够积极应对预期的人口，环境和技术变化。为了应对这些挑战，国家、区域和地方各级的决策者需要研究界以可纳入政策和实践的方式提供现有的最佳信息和证据。工程和物理科学研究理事会（EPSRC）以及更广泛的与环境变化共存伙伴关系在研究方面投入了大量资金，为这一决策过程提供信息。BeXchange旨在最大限度地提高和加速这项研究的影响和效益。它将提供一个有活力的重点网络，使研究人员、决策者和从业人员能够共同努力，确保及时产生可信的研究和突出的知识交流产出，用于发展可持续的建筑环境。在气候变化适应和抗御能力协调网络现有成就的基础上再接再厉（ARCC CN，EP/G036586/1），BeXchange将与研究人员和广泛的利益攸关方合作，提供：-获取知识，数据和实用工具，借鉴整个学术界的研究成果;-促进知识交流的机会，以更好地为研究，实践和证据收集活动提供信息和重点;有助于产生有针对性的产出的手段（扶持性进程和机制），以便将由此产生的知识纳入政策和实践。在ARCC CN内获得的经验表明，促进学术界的联网和成果综合，让研究人员和其他利益攸关方参与，可以提高整体研究的使用并最终提高其影响。利益攸关方受益于提供符合其需求的连贯、及时和有针对性的证据和产出。研究人员受益于更广泛和知情的利益攸关方社区的参与，以及分享知识、资源、数据和成果的机会，从而加强他们自己的影响途径。BeXchange将是一个开放的网络，面向来自学术界、商业、工业、中央和地方政府、专业机构、志愿组织和相关网络的利益相关者，致力于促进建筑环境和基础设施部门的复原力和可持续性。通过为创建和获取信息提供一个联络点，并通过推动协调一致的参与和知识交流活动，BeXchange将成为英国可靠和相关研究证据的主要来源，为建筑环境和基础设施部门的适应提供信息。

The performance of the UK built environment and its infrastructure is critical to national well-being, the growth agenda and economic competitiveness and stability. Yet these increasingly complex and interdependent sectors face serious challenges over the next 10-50 years and beyond if they are to minimise the risk of systematic failures and disruptions and be capable of responding positively to expected demographic, environmental and technological changes. In order to meet these challenges, decision-makers at the national, regional and local levels need the best available information and evidence from the research community in a format that can be incorporated into policy and practice. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and, more broadly, the Living with Environmental Change partnership, have invested heavily in research to inform this decision-making process. BeXchange aims to maximise and accelerate the impacts and benefits of this research. It will provide a dynamic focussed network that will enable researchers, policymakers and practitioners to work together to ensure timely production of credible research and salient knowledge exchange outputs for use in developing a sustainable built environment. Building on existing achievements within the Adaptation and Resilience in a Changing Climate Coordination Network (ARCC CN, EP/G036586/1), BeXchange will work with researchers and a wide range of stakeholders to provide:- access to knowledge, data and practical tools drawing on research outputs from across the academic community;- opportunities for facilitated knowledge exchange to better inform and focus research, practice and evidence-gathering activities;- the means (enabling processes and mechanisms) to contribute to the production of targeted outputs such that the resulting knowledge can be integrated into policy and practice. Experience gained within the ARCC CN has demonstrated that facilitated networking and synthesis of results from academia that engages both researchers and other stakeholders enhances the use and ultimately the impacts of the overall research. Stakeholders benefit from the provision of coherent, timely and targeted evidence and outputs that meet their needs. Researchers benefit from engagement of a broader and informed stakeholder community and opportunities to share knowledge, resources, data and results that enhance their own individual pathways to impacts. BeXchange will be an open network targeting stakeholders from academia, business, industry, central and local government, professional institutions, voluntary organisations and related networks with an interest in fostering resilience and sustainability in the built environment and infrastructure sectors. These include those stakeholders whose remit is public engagement and international colleagues with interests relevant to the UK.By providing a focal point for the creation of and access to information and by driving forward coordinated engagement and knowledge exchange activities, BeXchange will become the primary UK source of credible and relevant evidence from research to inform adaptation in the built environment and infrastructure sectors.
