Advancing A Canadian Knowledge Commons I A National Summit
A National Summit will be held on June 2, 2010 in Montreal (coincident with the 2010 Congress of the Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences). Dialogues and practices of a knowledge commons have recently attracted increased interest and visibility in academic, government, not-for-profit, philanthropic and private sector settings. Leaders, such as yourself, from within these sectors and practices are invited to attend and participate in a day focused upon deepening this conversation, developing a working strategy document, and a five year plan for activities. This event is organized by Community-Based Research Canada, the Canadian Alliance for Community Service -Learning, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, and Social Innovation Generation at the University of Waterloo, on behalf of numerous engaged universities, colleges, private and not-far-profit organizations, and government agencies across Canada. The Summit on June 2, 2010 will catalyze conversation, connection and strategy development for action. It will include a panel address, presentations by two outstanding examples of high impact initiatives, themed round table discussions on potential areas for action, and opportunities to contribute to a strategic action plan.
Who should attend? The Summit aims to draw a diverse group of participants from not-for-profit organizations, post-secondary institutions, business, government and philanthropy who are interested in shaping a Canadian Knowledge Commons and moving it forward.
