\nWhile busy brokering and building capacity for knowledge mobilization York’s Knowledge Mobilization Unit has also been publishing peer reviewed articles on their practice. These 10 publications (and more are on their way) are posted in the Knowledge Mobilization community<\/a> of York’s institutional repository.\u00a0 This new monthly post will feature a different article and the accompanying ResearchSnapshot clear language research summary.<\/em>
\nTout en travaillant au courtage des connaissances et au renforcement des capacit\u00e9s de mobilisation, le service de MdC de York a publi\u00e9, dans des revues avec comit\u00e9 de lecture, des articles portant sur ses pratiques.

\nMaximizing the benefits of research\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWhat you need to know.<\/strong> When research is easier to access, it supports closer collaboration between the different groups that are affected by it. Universities, communities, government agencies and businesses can improve their collaboration with other sectors to apply research findings to real world problems and maximize the impacts of research.
\nWhat is the research about?\u00a0<\/strong> Knowledge mobilization (KMb) and social innovation gets university research into the hands of policy makers, businesses, and community groups. These stakeholders increase the social, economic and environmental impacts of research by using it to improve the wellbeing of people and our planet. Thus, research must speak to different industries and communities to see its effect on the social economy. A stronger social economy can emerge if we work together, finish projects, join knowledge, and set goals. This study explains the relationship between people doing research, people who need that research, and its relevance to society. KMb and social innovation finds ways to collaborate and communicate it to make the world a better place.
\nWhat did the researchers do?<\/strong> The authors studied literature and practices in universities, community groups, and the government. They wanted to see how effectively research was being used after it was completed. They reviewed social innovation trends and suggested ways to make research easier to access and understand for these stakeholders.
\nWhat did the researchers find?<\/strong> A brief description of research findings allows interested stakeholders to recognize and access the full report quickly. Social Innovation can thrive when we share our research findings and open up communication between different sectors. Knowledge brokers play an important role in KMb. They help stakeholders in different sectors connect with research to improve its impact. The authors also suggested ways to improve communication and collaboration among government agencies, universities, and community groups. These included:<\/p>\n
