4. CCL/SSHRC Knowledge Mobilization Symposium: May 15-18, 2008 - Harrison Hot Springs, BC (2008)
Final Report
Authors: Benjamin Levin
In May 2008, the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) co-sponsored a symposium on knowledge mobilization with the goal of stimulating discussion about a variety of questions related to that concept.
The symposium was divided into four main themes: knowing knowledge mobilization; practising knowledge mobilization; enhancing knowledge mobilization; and researching knowledge mobilization.
Symposium participants were united in their belief that knowledge mobilization can play a significant role in bridging the gap between research producers and research consumers. This role is likely to grow in importance as the appetite for evidence-based and research-informed practice and decision-making continues to grow.
At the same time, the authors note, knowledge mobilization organizations and practitioners must compete for attention in highly information-rich societies; establish their credibility; and adapt to the uneven and unpredictable capacity of decision-makers to understand, consume, and conduct research.
The report also contains suggestions for action that participants felt would help further the knowledge mobilization agenda in Canada.
