Skills for Research Impact is a workshop series, spanning the fall and winter semesters at the University of Guelph. Faculty, research staff, graduate students and anyone interested in enhancing the impact of their research are invited to join.

Through sessions facilitated by impact experts, participants will learn how to successfully plan, execute and evaluate knowledge mobilization (or knowledge translation and transfer) activities. Sessions will cover topics key to effective research communications and engagement of non-academic audiences, including policy, industry and community stakeholders.

Throughout the series, participants will gain skills that can be applied to their own research contexts, goals and projects. Workshops will be highly participatory and will provide practical knowledge, skills and tools that can be used right away.

This workshop series is a collaboration between the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, the Research Innovation Office and the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute at the University of Guelph. For more information, contact us at kttadmin@uoguelph.ca.
