This popular series is back again this semester!
Registration is now open for the Winter 2025 Skills for Research Impact Workshop Series. Offered in collaboration by the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute, the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, and the Research Innovation Office, these workshops are designed for University of Guelph faculty, research staff and graduate students interested in enhancing the impact of their research.
Since its introduction in 2017, the University of Guelph's Certificate in Knowledge Mobilization has offered training in knowledge mobilization and evidence-informed decision-making to hundreds of professionals. The Certificate provides in-depth training into the principles and practices of knowledge mobilization – that is, the process by which research is shared, used and applied to inform real-life situations. Through three eight-week courses, participants learn to identify and address barriers to knowledge use and discover tools and techniques to enhance the societal impact of research and facilitate the development of evidence-informed policy and practice.
The Community Engaged Scholarship Institute (CESI) is committed to increasing access to the Certificate to graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, as well as individuals working in not-for-profits or social service organizations.
To support participation, CESI is offering bursaries to Course 1, Inform: Processes of knowledge translation and dissemination, taking place online from January 6, 2025, to March 16, 2025. The bursaries have a value of $1100 (community partners) and $910 (graduate students).
