\"\"<\/a>Certain milestones simply invite reflection; anniversaries, birthdays and the arrival of a new year are most obvious.\u00a0 Never one to shy away from opportunities to reflect, I am pleased to share with you a retrospective look back at 2009 for the Knowledge Mobilization Unit at York University.\u00a0 On behalf of the entire team, here at the KM Unit<\/a>\u00a0we are proud of the level of service and commitment we have provided to the research community here at York and to our project partners and collaborators outside of York.
\nWhile our data reflects growth and success over the past year (and stay tuned to Mobilize This! for more on this in 2010… but a teaser for you, we have had 1 million web hits from 2007- May 2009 and almost 1 million hits since!), our work is so more than the quantitative metrics of opportunities brokered, revenue generated from collaborative research and numbers of students engaged.\u00a0 We are proud of the stories we have shared on Mobilize This! but we acknowledge they are not always our<\/em> stories.\u00a0 I would like to share with your two brief examples of our work in 2009, which is intended to shine a little light on us, but shine a very bright light on the work of York researchers and our non-academic collaborators, for it is these people who provide the energy needed to support this process of collaboration.<\/p>\n
