The Gustavson School of Business takes a unique approach to business education. We're different, and we want our students to think differently too. We want to develop global business leaders that can help create a better world.
Research Partnerships and Knowledge Mobilization
We've partnered with the unit (RPKM) in the Office of Research Services (ORS).
No matter what kind of research you're interested in, RPKM can help you find partners and outlets to expand what you know (or what you'd like to know) with a suite of practical services that includes partnership brokering, licensing, training, knowledge mobilization and communications planning.
This unit works with scholars in all faculties and with industry, government and community-based organizations looking to collaborate with the range of research talent on campus.
Knowledge mobilization (KM) bridges the gap between knowledge creation and its practical application by turning research findings or creative works into ideas that are ready for action and designed to benefit society.
