Our Knowledge Mobilization on the Land provides opportunities to create interaction and knowledge co-production by bringing community-driven research initiatives together with government researchers, decision-makers, and industry. These mobilization activities extend or share the place-based research with a broader audience that may not be directly involved in the research.
The knowledge mobilization activities will be available through the Impact Connector’s scoping sessions, BKC’s Annual Knowledge Summit and BKC-hosted training workshops. These events provide opportunities to share knowledge with community, government, industry, and academic knowledge leaders with interest and experience.
Knowledge Mobilization at the table aims to mobilize research into decision-making, an intentional, reciprocal, and adaptive process that includes those conducting the research and those making the decisions. Mobilization of science and knowledge into policy, regulation, and decision-making remains a significant challenge in Canada, particularly when it comes to the inclusion of Indigenous knowledges in federal decision-making.
BKC’s Knowledge Mobilization at the Table takes place through the formation of the Federal Science Priorities Advisory Panel, providing strategic advice on federal science and policy priorities and activities that may leverage, align, contribute to, and enable BKC research, knowledge mobilization, and training activities and the formation of BKC’s Distinctions-based Research Advisory Committees advising and making recommendations on the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Distinctions-Based Knowledge Hubs.
