Knowledge Mobilization Summer Institute
What is the KMb Summer Institute? Three days of learning and skill development in the field of knowledge mobilization. Hands-on workshops and networking with professionals will provide a unique opportunity for early career KMb individuals to develop a solid foundation of understanding of the key principles of KMb, collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and evaluation.
Who should attend? Early career professionals working in the area of Knowledge Mobilization or Knowledge Translation and Transfer; this includes researchers, knowledge brokers, research facilitators, and graduate students. Participants will come from a broad cross-section of organizations such as universities, not-for-profit organizations, research institutions, government agencies, National Centres of Excellence, and industry.
Where will the KMb Summer Institute take place? In 2015, we are pleased to offer this institute at the University of Guelph in Ontario (approximately 1 hour west of Toronto). Accommodations will be available on campus or at nearby hotels and food will be provided by the award-winning U of G Food Services.
