Knowledge Mobilization
Knowledge mobilization facilitates the production and adoption of evidence-based solutions to social, economic, and environment challenges. Simon Fraser University is committed to becoming a world leader in knowledge mobilization.
Turning Research into Impact
Knowledge mobilization is an intentional approach to enhance the real-world impact of research through knowledge exchange between researchers and end-users, collaboratively building research, sharing findings, and engaging with research outputs and products.
Knowledge mobilization includes co-creation, dissemination, implementation and commercialization.
