More information
Description:
Increasingly funders in Canada and more broadly expect research to be applied in a way that will promote social good, such as through policies, programs and processes. In this session, participants will learn how knowledge mobilization tools and strategies can be applied to promote the uptake of research outputs.
There will be a specific focus on identifying various pathways for research uptake that researchers can identify to create effective knowledge mobilization plans.
Lunch will be provided.
Learning objectives:
- Identify how knowledge mobilization can strengthen the impact of your research
- Review various impact pathways for water researchers to consider with respect to their own projects
- Select and apply appropriate tools and strategies to mobilize your research
- Select effective knowledge mobilization activities based on your impact pathways, objectives, and intended audience
Who should take this training: This session is developed for researchers at any stage in their career who want to learn how to utilize impact pathways to promote research uptake. While researchers from any discipline are welcome, the presenter draws on stories and examples from water-related topics.
