RESEARCH INTEGRATION FOR KNOWLEDGE AND ACTION

A short course for research leaders - Canberra , Australia.

17-18 April 2007

This course is intended for researchers who are leading or designing complex, interdisciplinary research projects that aim to integrate knowledge from a range of sources, and to integrate research and action by effectively influencing policy and practice.

The course will provide:

  • a framework within which to think about integration
  • an introduction to knowledge systems analysis
  • understandings of common constraints and facilitators.

At the end of the course you will have:

  • a better understanding of the integration tasks you confront
  • new ways of tackling research integration across disciplines, stakeholders, cultures, jurisdictions and issues
  • identified pathways for enhancing the effectiveness of your research.

The course leaders will present theory and methods to help you understand and meet your particular research integration challenges.

Who should attend?

The course is particularly relevant for project or program leaders in:

  • Cooperative Research Centres
  • Universities
  • CSIRO
  • Federal and State government research agencies
  • Research and Development Corporations
  • Non-government research organisations.

The course builds on research and practice in public health and environmental and natural resource management, but will be relevant to researchers facing the challenges of integration in many public sector fields.
