Event Details

Join us for the 2010 KM Expo: Bridging Cultural Boundaries: push, pull and co-production of knowledge! This event has been organized by the Knowledge Mobilization (KM) Unit at York University, which operates in partnership with the Human Services Planning Coalition of York Region and the York Region District School Board.
 
The 3rd annual York KM Expo will explore the unique cultural boundaries that exist between university researchers, graduate students and their non-academic research collaborators from community organizations and government agencies. Featuring plenary, breakout, unconference and networking sessions, the KM Expo will explore how the push, pull and co-production methods of KM partnerships help universities and their partners become ‘boundary organizations'.
 

Registration is free but space is limited.
