Guide for Knowledge Mobilization in the Context of Research Partnerships

The mobilization of knowledge, usually understood as “transfer” of knowledge, is a key issue for the several research actors – donors, partners, researchers and experts involved in research partnerships – with respect to knowledge democratization, accountability towards decision-makers, and for what concerns its effective utilization to the advantage of social economy initiatives. This document has been prepared by the University-Community Research Alliance in Social Economy (ARUC-ES from its French acronym) and the Quebec Research Partnership Network in Social Economy (RQRP-ES) in order to become more effective in terms of knowledge transfer to the advantage of the sustainability of social economy and community development.
