Research Impact Canada

Research Impact Canada

Leading SFU's membership to Research Impact Canada (RIC) by chairing and serving on committees, and representing SFU at national conferences and events.

Research Impact Canada is a pan-Canadian network committed to helping universities and other organizations across Canada maximize the impact of research for communities. RIC builds knowledge mobilization capacity by hosting trainings and a national, bilingual community of practice for its 40+ member institutions. RIC's website also hosts a large library of knowledge mobilization resources.

The Knowledge Mobilization Hub facilitates SFU's membership to RIC by serving on committees, attending and presenting at events, and co-leading the annual knowledge mobilization training program, MobilizeU. The KM Hub also attends the RIC annual general meeting to connect with other RIC members and learn about the knowledge mobilization supports and services they offer to improve and expand our own supports and services.
