Knowledge Translation is becoming more and more important in research. It is a requirement of most funding agencies, with some even putting out calls for studies emphasizing knowledge translation. With this in mind the Knowledge Translation Conference is being held at the Marriott Hotel, River Cree, Edmonton on November 21-23.
Overview of the conference:
Knowledge transfer (KT) is about wanting to make a difference and do things better by ensuring that research is relevant, accessible and used to support decisions. Whether you’re a researcher, part of a research team, a health care practitioner, manager, knowledge broker, or a science entrepreneur, you are part of the knowledge transfer process. That process describes how new knowledge (innovate) moves between the producers and potential users (influence) and ultimately results in changes in policy and practice (integrate).
The 2010 RTNA conference will incorporate leading practices in KT and will bring together researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and KT specialists. It will be interactive and will encourage relationship building across disciplines; it will acknowledge the complexity of decision making; it will use storytelling and other effective means of moving knowledge; and it will provide an opportunity to learn about KT from experts and from each other. Come prepared to be challenged and energized as we innovate, influence, and integrate.
