What is KM?
We believe that knowledge has greater value when it is shared and implemented. Knowledge Mobilization is the active, two-way exchange of information and expertise between knowledge creators and knowledge users. The KM Unit at York University connects university researchers with community and government organizations to support the use of research in decision-making about social programming, public policy, and professional practice.
