Description

Skills for Research Impact is a workshop series, spanning the fall and winter semesters, for University of Guelph faculty, research staff and graduate students interested in enhancing the impact of their research. Through sessions facilitated by impact experts, participants will learn how to successfully plan, execute and evaluate knowledge mobilization (or knowledge translation and transfer) activities.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Define "knowledge mobilization"
• Identify why knowledge mobilization is important
• Identify best practices for knowledge mobilization
• Summarize the steps involved in knowledge mobilization planning
• Compare and contrast End of Grant KT and Integrated KT

Throughout the series, participants will gain skills that can be applied to their own research contexts, goals and projects. Workshops will be highly participatory and will provide practical knowledge, skills and tools that can be used right away. Join us online for one or multiple sessions!
