The Knowledge Management and Communications E-book

This course was developed through a collaboration of eight higher education institutions working together to generate a micro-credential for students and early career researchers to explore the details of knowledge management, knowledge mobilization and communication.

It is designed to equip researchers across the natural sciences, engineering, businesses, humanities and social sciences in Ontario with the tools to share their important findings and new knowledge with appropriate audiences to ensure their research findings make an impact.

It is also useful to helping early career researchers understand university policies around data sharing and usage, IP and commercialization and how to communicate their findings.
