Join Dr. Adam Kirton, Principal Investigator of the CHILD-BRIGHT Enhancing Brain Function with Non-Invasive Stimulation project at this Facebook Live event, hosted by the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation
Through this highly interactive workshop, participants will begin by defining a shared understanding of integrated knowledge translation. Participants will then discover what it means to “innovate”, and how innovations can be applied to knowledge translation science. Through creative brainstorming techniques and by building partnerships with other participants, attendees will have the opportunity to generate and expand on innovative knowledge translation projects ideas. As an example, an open-mic style period will allow participants to share their project ideas – no matter how daring, outrageous, creative or out-of-the-box they might be. The session will conclude with concrete actions to further conceptualize the ideas discussed, and will encourage partners to participate in the Innovation Incubator funding competition to help bring a unique, innovative integrated Knowledge Translation (iKT) project to life.
The CHILD-BRIGHT’s Knowledge Translation Co-chair team will present an overview of their Knowledge Translation Innovation Incubator workshop and grant competition titled “BRAINstorm” that will take place on November 6th, 2017 in Toronto. This workshop is part of the Brain-Child-Partners conference 2017, a joint event with Kids Brain Health Network. From this presentation, participants should come to appreciate:
Why we need innovation in Knowledge Translation
What innovation means in Knowledge Translation
Why YOU should participate in this BRAINstorm event
How can YOU find the right partners and develop an idea to participate in the innovative Knowledge Translation project competition
The unique format, lineup of great presenters and thought provoking activities you will experience during the workshop.
