The Knowledge Exchange Unit is working on a wide range of support for UBC researchers, students and staff.

Ongoing Projects

Training and resources

The Knowledge Exchange Unit will host the Knowledge Exchange Summer Institute from July 20 -24, 2020. This virtual course is the first edition of the Unit's training program and further editions will run in the future.  The course is intended for researchers across all disciplines and at all career stages, and is designed to develop practical skills and tangible strategies to help you plan and implement your knowledge exchange activities.

Spaces in the Summer Institute are limited, and a waiting list system will be in place once registrations have reached capacity.

Highlights from past events

Candid Conversations - The importance of dialogue in generating impact

On May 15, 2019, the UBC Knowledge Exchange (Kx) held its first event featuring three conversations on Kx between UBC researchers and their community partners. 

Listen back to these exchanges in our podcasts. 

UBC knowledge exchange environmental scan

We are working on mapping the professionals, units and resources supporting knowledge exchange at UBC. We want to provide a bird’s-eye view of the Kx expertise, tools, training, and grants available at UBC to help researchers, students and staff navigate the landscape of Kx support offered to them. The scan will not include researchers or research teams doing Kx.

COVID-19 Knowledge Exchange support for UBC researchers

The UBC Knowledge Exchange Unit has put together a non-exhaustive list of channels and series through which UBC researchers can share COVID-related knowledge and expertise.
