Knowledge Mobilization as an Evolving Role for University Research

Organizer:
David Phipps, York University
Speakers:

Increasingly funding programs require our faculty to work with non-academic stakeholders and develop knowledge mobilization strategies (i.e. CIHR PHSI, SSHRC CURA, SSHRC Clusters etc.). Our technology transfer offices help our faculty develop commercialization strategies for NSERC I2I and CIHR PoP but who will help them develop applications with a KM component – you, in all your free time? What does a KM Unit do? How can the KM Unit support faculty and students? How do you manage the expectations of faculty and research partners? Do funding agencies even care? In an interactive format (no talking heads!) university based knowledge brokers will share their KM tools and their KM stories.
