Dear University of Manitoba Community,

 

 

We invite you to attend the next Community Engagement Session as we continue our Strategic Research Planning process to develop a collective vision for the future of UM research. 

 

Based on your feedback, the Strategic Research Planning Committee has identified five thematic areas:

  • Climate Action and Sustainability
  • Food and Water Security
  • Health and Well-Being
  • Human Security and Equity
  • Indigenous Research

In the fourth community engagement session, we will ask participants to discuss research impact, including how it should be measured beyond citation impact. For example, see NSERC’s Forms of Contributions to Research, which have been informed by the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).

 

This session will allow for both in-person and virtual interactive small group discussions to address key questions.

 

Summaries from each group discussion will be shared with the larger group for an open conversation.

 

Event details below:
