Expertise in research integration and implementation is an essential but often overlooked component of tackling complex societal and environmental problems. We focus on expertise relevant to any complex problem, especially contributory expertise, divided into ‘knowing-that’ and ‘knowing-how.’ We also deal with interactional expertise and the fact that much expertise is tacit. We explore three questions. First, in examining ‘when is expertise in research integration and implementation required?,’ we review tasks essential (a) to developing more comprehensive understandings of complex problems, plus possible ways to address them, and (b) for supporting implementation of those understandings into government policy, community practice, business and social innovation, or other initiatives. Second, in considering ‘where can expertise in research integration and implementation currently be found?,’ we describe three realms: (a) specific approaches, including interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity, systems thinking and sustainability science; (b) case-based experience that is independent of these specific approaches; and (c) research examining elements of integration and implementation, specifically considering unknowns and fostering innovation. We highlight examples of expertise in each realm and demonstrate how fragmentation currently precludes clear identification of research integration and implementation expertise. Third, in exploring ‘what is required to strengthen expertise in research integration and implementation?,’ we propose building a knowledge bank. We delve into three key challenges: compiling existing expertise, indexing and organising the expertise to make it widely accessible, and understanding and overcoming the core reasons for the existing fragmentation. A growing knowledge bank of expertise in research integration and implementation on the one hand, and accumulating success in addressing complex societal and environmental problems on the other, will form a virtuous cycle so that each strengthens the other. Building a coalition of researchers and institutions will ensure this expertise and its application are valued and sustained.

The purpose of this study is to discuss the use of social media, namely utilizing Instagram features in the delivery of Islamic material, so that this can make Instagram an innovation in Islamic digital learning media. This is motivated by the rapid development of technology in the 4.0 era that requires an educator to be able to use it in the teaching and learning process. This type of research is qualitative research with the chosen approach method being virtual ethnography. Data was collected using documentation and observation on several accounts on Instagram that met the parameters. Data analysis was carried out through the first stages of data reduction, then data presentation, and finally concluding. The results of the study show that the features provided by Instagram can be used as learning media innovations and this is believed to make learning Islamic Religious Education more interesting because the material is presented using different media and ways than usual. Instastory features, feeds, reels, highlights, and Instagram live are some of the Instagram features that can be used as learning media.
