Overview
Develop your knowledge, skills and values with respect to knowledge mobilization (KMb) and learn to select and apply KMb tools and techniques to move knowledge into action.
Addressing today's complex social, economic, health or environmental challenges calls for our increased capacity to collaborate in finding and implementing innovative solutions. While a vast amount of knowledge is created every day, only a fraction of it is effectively mobilized—shared, used and applied—to inform real-life situations. This lack of knowledge transfer or exchange is contributing to a gap between research, policy and practice, which hinders social innovation and slows down progress.
With a total of three courses to complete, this certificate seeks to contribute to closing this gap by providing you with the necessary tools to enable the efficient and appropriate dissemination, uptake and application of knowledge.
