Are you looking into pursuing future studies but not sure where to start?
The Further Education Fair is the perfect opportunity for you! On October
9th, you will be able to speak with representatives about programs and
schools you're interested in.

On behalf of the Waterloo RoboHub, the Global Engagement Seminar team, and the Interdisciplinary Capstone teaching team, I would like to invite you to join us for what should be a very interesting talk!

Evan Ackerman, Senior Editor of IEEE Spectrum and one of this year's Global Engagement Seminar Jarislowski Fellows, will be giving a talk titled “Robots vs Reality: Responsible Science Communication in the Attention Economy” at 4 pm on October 21st in DC 1351. We are expecting to completely fill the room, so seating in DC 1351 will be on a first-come, first-served basis until we reach capacity. Once it is full, the main IDEAs Clinic room (E7 1427) will be used as the primary overflow space once DC 1351 is full.

Knowledge mobilization (KM) aims to bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring that valuable insights and evidence are effectively communicated and applied in real-world settings. In this workshop, participants will learn how to apply KM concepts and tactics to improve the impact of their work.

Guest speaker:
Elanor Waslander, Knowledge Mobilization Specialist, Water Institute

Learning objectives:

• Learn about the knowledge mobilization framework and how it can strengthen the impact of your research.
• Set clear research impact goals and identify your pathway to change.
• Identify and connect with your intended audience.
• Select effective knowledge mobilization activities based on your objectives and intended audience.
• Develop strategic planning skills to connect your goals, audience, tool selection, and intended outcomes to meet your intended research impact.

Please join us for a Chemical Engineering Grad Fair on Thursday, October 23rd in E7 in the 1st Floor Ideas Clinic.

The event runs from 10:00am-12:30pm.
