Knowledge Mobilization

Knowledge mobilization is about extending research dissemination to inform people and organizations, especially practitioners and policy makers. Strengthening these connections helps to increase the impact of research on building solutions to the challenges that face society today - socially, economically, environmentally and culturally.

Some people talk about knowledge mobilization as knowledge transfer or knowledge translation. Here you will find resources where scholars share the "fruits" of their research in order to inform and enrich others and benefit society. Knowledge mobilization is a two-way process, where researchers in partnership with community people and organizations produce knowledge in an accessible format.
