society reps across Canada
• Linked to Global Alliance for Community

3. Global Policy Environment
2008 World Report on Higher Education,
reports on the growing discourse around
the world on engagement and renewed
examinations of the relationship of higher
education to the societies within which
they are located.
Emergence of several global networks
4. UNESCO Brief
GACER BRIEF TO UNESCO JULY 2009
• Global social, economic and environmental crisis
requires new knowledge creation and action across
government, civil society and other stakeholders.
• Community-University partnerships in research,
learning and knowledge mobilization are a
growing trend in countries around the world, in
both the South and North, in seek solutions to
inter-related social, economic and environmental
issues and challenges of poverty and sustainability
5. FUNDING & DEVELOPMENT
OF CU PARTNERSHIPS
Study commissioned by SSHRC found:
• Increased investment by research councils,
government agencies, foundations, universities and
civil society organisations
• Impacts and outcomes for knowledge creation in all
areas of policy and practice (health, social and
economic development, environment, housing,
Aboriginal self-determination)
6. FUNDING & DEVELOPMENT
OF CU PARTNERSHIPS
• Increasing development of university wide
structures for community engagement in research,
service learning, civic and social responsibility
• Partnerships of civil society networks in the co-
creation of knowledge and evidence-based policies
• Gaps: Funding, Supportive institutional
arrangements, Policy linkages, Community capacity
building, Practice and Knowledge Mobilisation and
Exhange
7. CONCLUSION
• We are at critical point in the evolution of CU
partnerships.
• Major potential for linking Post Secondary
system resources to community needs
• Particularly important for the complex multi
sectoral and interdisciplinary health-socio-
economic, cultural and environmental issues
facing Canadian communities
8. RECOMMENDATIONS
• Research granting councils increase
support and policy direction, improve
funding for community partners, invest in
networking and knowledge mobilisation
and exchange
• Governments engage in policy and
programme linkages
• Universities and colleges strengthen
supportive environments for CBR
9. FINDINGS
Government supported agencies are
leveraging relationships with higher
education and civil society to achieve
distinct mandates that require new
knowledge and its mobilization in the
public interest (e.g. housing and
homelessness).
10. FINDINGS
• Civil society organizations are using
research to generate both knowledge for
practice and create opportunities for co-
producing policy with government and
other stakeholders that is evidence-based
and builds on the experience of
communities and their organizations to
create and manage change.
• Supported by Foundations, Philanthropy
11. FINDINGS
Institution-wide commitments to
community engagement as an explicit
mission of universities across a range of
research, learning and knowledge
mobilization activities to advance their
social responsibility mandate (e.g. Uvic,
UQAM, etc.)
12. FINDINGS
Leadership by foundations and civil society
networks and organizations to bring
together university-based representatives
with community representatives to achieve
social innovation and sustainable
development objectives (e.g. McConnell
Foundation, Canadian CED Network)
13. FINDINGS
Critical momentum with outcomes of benefit
to communities, higher education,
government and research funding
councils, civil society. BUT substantial
barriers and challenges.
14. BARRIERS
• Structures and systems within higher
education institutions
• Research funding restrictions and policy
direction
• Governmental policies
• Community capacity and recognition
• Fragmentation
• Lack of knowledge mobilization across siloed
initiatives
15. RECOMMENDATIONS
Research Councils strengthen their lead role
in CU research and knowledge
mobilization partnerships by: Increasing
investment; explicit supportive policies;
incentives; grant conditions that build
community capacity; support for next
generation of students and practitioners;
national networking; knowledge exchange
across Council funded projects. (Pgs 6-8)
16. RECOMMENDATIONS
Tri-Council leadership in: Policy forum
and policy statement on CU
partnerships; Funding mechanism for
CU partnerships involving inter-
disciplinary research; Annual best
practice event to build capacity and
innovation.
17. RECOMMENDATIONS
SSHRC: Engage CU stakeholders in
developing policy statement for
Council; Support mechanisms to
exchange best practices amongst
grant recipients to build capacity and
innovation; Work with stakeholders
to document evidence of outcomes
and determine future priorities
18. RECOMMENDATIONS
Universities/Colleges: Expand
innovation in structures and systems
of recognition to provide incentives
for community engagement; Link up
service learning, research
partnerships, ethical purchasing,
social responsibility; Pan institutional
support for KM and CBR
19. RECOMMENDATIONS
Governments: Improve federal
program funding arrangements to
support CU research partnerships
that contribute to horizontal policy
development; Engage CMEC in
exploring provincial territorial
support to CU partnerships; Engage
FCM in exploring municipal
engagement
20. RECOMMENDATIONS
Civil Society: Networking and
engagement through CBRC of
Foundations, Aboriginal and First
Nations organizations, immigrant and
refugee organizations, social
economy, and others in strengthening
leadership role and capacity of civil
society to use research partnerships
to create policy and practice outcomes
21. NEXT STEPS
• Disseminate findings and
recommendations
• Engage through the CBRC Steering
Committee
• Expand research to inventory and
detailed case studies to document impact
• Link to work with the Global Alliance
funded by SSHRC and IDRC
• Strengthen UNESCO brief
