Bridging Research and Action

BRIDGING RESEARCH & ACTION

Catalyzing collaboration to bring knowledge into action across BC

Event Overview

Building on the calls to action established through UBC Health-hosted dialogue events (2021-2024), Bridging Research and Action will connect partners from across BC’s health system to explore how research insights can be translated into actionable strategies to improve health across the province. This event will bring together diverse perspectives and sectors to catalyze the integration of research and innovation into practice and develop shared aims for implementation.

Why Attend?

During this two-day event, we will:

• Showcase Interdisciplinary Health Research and Innovations: Learning from current research, innovations and impact will guide discussions about how to mobilize knowledge and implement approaches to develop transformative solutions across disciplines and sectors.

• Facilitate Connection and Dialogue: Participants will engage in dynamic panels, interactive workshops, and working groups to tackle complex health challenges, co-create actionable strategies, and catalyze cross-campus and sector partnerships.

• Build Connections and Drive Change: The event aims to foster collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, policymakers, practitioners, and community members to establish shared goals and leave with actionable opportunities to integrate results from research into practice.

Who Should Attend?

This event welcomes healthcare providers, health administrators, health researchers, policymakers, patient and community partners and other interest holders committed to bridging the knowledge-to-action gap in BC. UBC Health aims to ensure the engagement of diverse interest holders across the province with in-person sessions at both the UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan campuses, as well as opportunities to connect virtually.
