Translating Research & Scholarship into Action

Complex Real World Problems

Opportunities to tackle complex real world problems, engage in discovery and innovation with industry, community, and government partners in key sectors of the economy and society.

Knowledge Mobilization (KM)

KM involves the transformative impact of collaborations between academic research and expertise in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. Knowledge Translation (KT) allows for the results of these collaborations to be broadly exchanged and disseminated.

Experiential Learning

By combining experiential learning with discovery and innovation (e.g., in the thematic sectors identified here), students can acquire techniques and methods to engage successfully in research and scholarship.

Innovation and Creativity

Encompasses processes that allow for analyzing and synthesizing information in innovative and creative ways to empower life-changing ideas. Helps scholars to mediate successfully between the ecological, social, and economic interests at different geographical scales. Describes products and services that improve process efficiencies, optimize material resources and energy efficiency, reduce environmental pollution, and minimize waste. Focuses on the application of procedures, devices, systems, skills, and organized knowledge around health to build and support vibrant, healthy, and sustainable communities.

We at Kwantlen Polytechnic University respectfully acknowledge that we live, work and study in a region that overlaps with the unceded traditional and ancestral First Nations territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), qi̓  cə̓  y̓ (Katzie), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), scə̓  waθən (Tsawwassen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and kwikwəƛ̓ə̓  m (Kwikwetlem); and with the lands of the qw̓  ɑ:nƛ̓ə̓  n̓ (Kwantlen First Nation), which gifted its name to this university.
