The Knowledge Transfer and Innovation team provides support and advice to MWI CIUSSS stakeholders who want to communicate, adopt, use, or implement the results of recent research, cutting-edge practices, or experiential knowledge.
It is a dedicated interdisciplinary team and one of the five departments that make up the Academic Affairs, Teaching, and Research Directorate (AATRD).
Knowledge transfer promotes research findings. It also considers the need for knowledge in practical environments so that they can collaborate with researchers, practitioners, partners, and knowledge users to develop solutions that meet the needs of the community.
