News related to knowledge mobilization

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). 

For three years, the University of Guelph’s Certificate in Knowledge Mobilization has helped professionals in a variety of sectors gain skills in knowledge mobilization and evidence-based decision making.

Course 2 of the Certificate in Knowledge Mobilization, “Engage: Building capacity to understand and use relevant evidence”, will be offered online from January 14 to March 10, 2019.
