This webinar will examine how researchers (and other evidence-creators) can help ensure their findings don’t just sit on a shelf. We’ll examine the concept and history of knowledge mobilization – a discipline focused on creating real-world impact from knowledge. We’ll examine the barriers and facilitators to knowledge-use, and discuss some of the methods and strategies you can use to help bridge the gap between knowledge and action. We will discuss the importance of engagement, how to frame messages, and examine some specific knowledge mobilization products.
Target group: Researchers or those who are in a position to create knowledge out of evidence.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore the concept of knowledge mobilization and its relevance to research
- Identify relevant barriers and facilitators to knowledge use
