KU08
The 8th annual Knowledge Utilization Colloquium for researchers and their trainees in the field of knowledge utilization/translation was held June 12 & 13, 2008 in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The planning committee for KU08 was Tracey Bucknall (Australia), Carole Estabrooks (Canada), Brendan McCormack (UK), Jo Rycroft-Malone (UK), Cheryl Stetler (USA), Marita Titler (USA), and Lars Wallin (Sweden).
Colloquium Information
The objectives of KU08
- To engage in the ongoing development of the evidence base and needed methodological approaches on key issues for research in the field of knowledge utilization/knowledge translation, including economic consequences, theory use, and measurement and evaluation.
- To provide a forum and networking opportunity that supports capacity and capability building of KT researchers/trainees and that enhances collaborative endeavors.
- Through a highly engaged process, to develop research questions and ideas that will inform future research.
KU08 consisted of a number of facilitated small and large group sessions in order to encourage focused and meaningful debate. We anticipate that a work plan that can be taken forward to KU09 will emerge from these two days.
