Over time there has been a shift, at least in the rhetoric, from a pipeline conceptualisation of knowledge
implementation, to one that recognises the potential of more collaboration, co-productive approaches to
knowledge production and use. In this editorial, which is grounded in our research and collective experience,
we highlight both the potential and challenge with collaboration and co-production. This includes issues
about stakeholder engagement, governance arrangements, and capacity and capability for working in a coproductive
way. Finally, we reflect on the fact that this approach is not a panacea, but is accompanied by some
philosophical and practical challenges
