KPU’s Office of Research Services (ORS) is committed to incorporating knowledge mobilization (KMb) and knowledge transfer (Kt) strategies into its applied research and community engagements. The ORS showcases the KPU research community through compelling visual narratives, stories, and openly accessible publications in both curiosity-driven and applied research areas.

The ORS maintains current KMb and Kt strategies and methods through its partnerships with the BC Applied Research and Innovation Network (BCARIN), ResearchImpact (a consortium of 14 universities committed to maximizing the impact of academic research for the public good and in support of global communities), and Colleges and Institutes Canada (formerly (ACCC).
