Knowledge Translation – Workshops

Given the inherent complexity of decision-making, policy and practice decisions can be better informed if there is:

rigorous, robust and reliable evidence that is relevant, to these decisions
translation and communication of this evidence into a form that is meaningful to decision-makers.

Knowledge Translation (KT) seeks to bridge the gap between research and decision-making (and the actors within each). As attention to KT in research, policy and practice grows, so does a need for capacity enhancement in KT knowledge, skills and activities amongst evidence producers and evidence users.

We offer various workshops tailored to different audiences to:

Enhance participants understanding of knowledge translation, and why it is important
share successes, challenges and best practices in knowledge translation
illustrate that research synthesis is central to knowledge translation
stimulate dialogue around the role of various stakeholders in knowledge translation.

We also run a dedicated course on Evidence-Informed Decision making: The Art, Science and Complexity of knowledge translation.
