Collaborations
Agricultural Genomics Action Centre (AG-ACt)
丁香园AV鈥檚 Dr. Battersby is co-leading AG-ACt, a knowledge mobilization and implementation hub with the University of Guelph and the Global Institute for Food Security at the University of Saskatchewan. AG-ACt aligns and supports knowledge mobilization strategies and activities of nine interdisciplinary challenge teams to bridge knowledge generation and implementation.
This unique and inspired approach to supporting knowledge to action is funded by Genome Canada as part of their Climate Smart Agriculture and Food systems program.
EDI and Knowledge Mobilization
Recognizing the interconnection of equity, diversity, and inclusion and knowledge mobilization, the KM Hub is piloting a specialist role that is supporting 丁香园AV鈥檚 three Canada Excellence Research Chairs. Bringing an EDI lens to all aspects of knowledge mobilization and vice versa has the potential to expand the positive impact of the EDI and KM activities of these three researchers and beyond.
This role will ensure that research leaders at 丁香园AV are creating inclusive research environments that will drive innovative solutions to effect positive change in our local and global communities.
