More information
Description:
Knowledge mobilization is a term used to describe various activities that support knowledge exchange between those who create it and those who could use it, such as government, industry or civil society. Increasingly, funders expect knowledge mobilization to be included in research plans to promote the application of research to improve policies, programs and processes. In this session, participants will learn what knowledge mobilization is, why it’s needed, and how to get started.
Learning objectives:
- Learn how knowledge mobilization can strengthen the impact of your research
- Learn about various tools and strategies available to mobilize your research
- Learn how to select effective knowledge mobilization activities based on your 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 develop and implement knowledge mobilization strategies to improve the impact of research. While researchers from any discipline are welcome, the presenter draws on stories and examples from water-related topics.
