Where mobilised knowledge meets action, transformation begins
What is Knowledge Mobilisation (“KM”)? KM helps research have greater impact by bringing together different communities (such as researchers, policy-makers, practitioners, patients and the public) to share knowledge to catalyse change. Thus, it helps reduce the gap between research evidence, policy, and practice.
KM is more than dissemination. It involves a two-way dialogue between researchers and research users and should be integrated across the research cycle.
When thinking about knowledge mobilisation, researchers can consider these questions:
- What do you want to be different because of your research?
- Who are the people who can make this change happen and how can you engage them?
- How can you work together to make change happen?
