Dr. Prue Addison is a Knowledge Exchange Fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Zoology. Her work bridges conservation science with corporate and policy sectors, focusing on integrating biodiversity considerations into business and governmental decision-making. She transitioned from roles in Australian academic institutions and NGOs to academia, driven by a fellowship emphasizing applied research and collaboration. Despite academic challenges prioritizing traditional metrics over real-world impact, she advocates for structured decision-making frameworks to address environmental policy gaps. Addison’s research emphasizes knowledge exchange, structured decision-making, and fostering partnerships between academia, industry, and policymakers.
Her key contributions include frameworks for biodiversity management thresholds and participatory modeling. She presented at the Norwegian Ecological Society Conference on enhancing research impact through networks and institutional support. Moving to an NGO in the near future, she plans to continue conservation science from the policy side due to academia’s publishing-centric career structures.
