Free to attend, this event brings together a range of knowledge exchange professionals to share tips and advice on best practice.
Join us for a day-long, in-person workshop exploring leading ideas on the purpose and practice of knowledge exchange, organised by SEFARI Gateway (the Scottish Government funded Centre of Expertise for Knowledge Exchange and Innovation), the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, and the Scottish Policy & Research Exchange.
Sorry, this event has already happened. Have a look at our upcoming events.
Details
During the event, we will hear from a range of knowledge exchange experts, who'll engage in dialogue to facilitate learning across the themes of relationships, equity, impact and learning from past experience. Topics we, and the inaugural Leading Ideas Hub (September 2022) attendees, felt are important to explore further.
We anticipate the event will be of interest to anyone involved in knowledge exchange e.g., researchers, policy professionals and knowledge exchange practitioners. Delegates will be able to make connections and share ideas and experiences with professionals across Scotland’s environment, food, and agriculture communities.
Consequently, we are pleased to invite you to attend 'Leading Ideas Hub 2 - Relational Approaches to Knowledge Exchange in Practice'.
The event will take place in-person at the Caledonian Hall, Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh (RBGE) on the 3rd of October 2023.
Tickets are available on a first come first served basis. Please register here.
