Identifying relevant questions together --- I find the idea very interesting to "have the decision-makers as part of the project design" in order to identify the relevant questions together, in particular with the local stakeholders. This is a change from the more traditional and promoted process of bringing scientific data to decision-making levels after the project has been developed and implemented. In my opinion, this raises to another level the role of science diplomacy and the need for ever closer collaboration, where we no longer only share the results but we collaborate upstream in setting-up a context-adapted process to produce these results
