Skills for Research Impact: Community Engagement

Description

Skills for Research Impact is a workshop series, spanning the fall and winter semesters, for University of Guelph faculty, research staff and graduate students interested in enhancing the impact of their research. Through sessions facilitated by impact experts, participants will learn how to successfully plan, execute and evaluate knowledge mobilization (or knowledge translation and transfer) activities.

Community Engagement: Actively engaging your audiences in your research process is one of the most effective ways to increase the uptake and impact of your research. But how does that work?

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify a range of key stakeholders and potential goals for engagement
• Consider different levels and types of stakeholder engagement before, during and following the research process
• Incorporate practical tips and important considerations in their own engagement efforts

Register for Community Engagement via Eventbrite

Presented by Lindsay Thompson, Manager, Community Engaged Scholarship Institute

Throughout the series, participants will gain skills that can be applied to their own research contexts, goals and projects. Workshops will be highly participatory and will provide practical knowledge, skills and tools that can be used right away. Join us online for one or multiple sessions! Letters of recognition are available upon request at the end of the series for those who attended all sessions in the fall 2023 semester. This workshop series is a collaboration between the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance and the Research Innovation Office at the University of Guelph.
