WaterLeadership, a program offered by the Water Institute, develops global water leaders by focusing on skills, knowledge, and networks that move research into action and support informed decision-making. The training sessions cover a range of topics related to communication, Knowledge Mobilization (KM), and leadership development. 

The modules are designed to meet the following learning objectives for participants:

  • Effectively communicate your research to non-academic audiences.
  • Translate and share your knowledge and ideas across disciplines and between organizations.
  • Apply knowledge mobilization tools and techniques to maximize research impact.
  • Build and expand collaborations that help embed water research in public, private and nonprofit sector decision-making at local, regional, national and global levels.
