Knowledge Exchange Series: Build Effective Partnerships

Want to connect with new audiences, build partnerships, and drive research impact? The University of British Columbia Microplastics Cluster is pleased to offer a three-part series facilitated by Hikma Strategies.

Through three hands-on workshops, participants will build core competencies in communication, partnership development, and planning for impact.

PART 2: BUILD EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIPS

To translate knowledge effectively, it is critical that you first understand where your partners, collaborators, and actors are coming from. This workshop will provide a framework and actionable strategies to identify your own knowledge gaps and tap into knowledge and expertise beyond the academy. We will discuss common areas where researchers get stalled in partnership development, and we'll share strategies to build common ground through curiosity and empathy.

ABOUT HIKMA

We help people with unique expertise bring their ideas to new contexts. In a world that often seems hungry for easy fixes, it can be difficult to craft a message that is both accurate and easy to read.

This is where we come in.

Through editorial consulting, writing, instructional design, and facilitation, we work with experts across fields to effect change through knowledge translation.
