In the second video from our Knowledge Mobilization Basics Series, we look at WHO is involved in Knowledge Mobilization and WHY it is important to include all individuals who will use or be affected by the research results in the real world. We’ll explore how involving these individuals will ensure the best chances of successful knowledge mobilization.
