Knowledge Mobilization at Dal
Knowledge mobilization helps make research useful to society by supporting engaged scholarship from inception to impact.
It is a suite of services that connects academic research, researchers and students with individuals and organizations seeking to develop sustainable solutions to social, cultural, economic, environmental, and health challenges. Involving scholarship across all disciplines, knowledge mobilization is concerned with research, scholarship (including teaching & learning) and creative activities that have potential to inform decisions about public policy, business and professional practice and social programs.
H's goal is to continuously develop new approaches to knowledge mobilization and to make knowledge mobilization an integral part of every research project plan. There are several resources that support knowledge mobilization, including:
is a pan-Canadian network of universities committed to maximizing the impact of academic research for the public good in local and global communities. This collaborative network includes more than 60 professionals dedicated to turning research into action. |
is an international, open community for various types of professionals working on stimulating and demonstrating the impact of science on economy, culture and well-being. |
(CBRC) mission is to be a national champion and facilitator for community-based research (CBR) and campus-community engagement in Canada. We envision vibrant Canadian communities enabled by CBR.
