 The Forum

One of the clear messages that RHO has received from its partners (researchers, students, and community members) is the need for training and skills building in the area of Knowledge Transfer and Exchange (KTE).

Our Skills Building Forum will provide the opportunity to learn to communicate with different audiences, and to understand how to facilitate the translation process across stakeholder groups.
