NGDI is pleased to invite you to its fifth lecture in the Distinguished Lectureship Seminar Series. Please come and hear Dr. Keith Martin speak about the work he is doing to bridge the knowledge-action gap in global health. He describes his upcoming talk below:
Bridging the Knowledge-Action Gap: Politics, Partnerships and New Tools to Address the Global Health Challenges of our Time
“We have an abundance of knowledge. Research findings at UBC and beyond can save millions of lives. Yet, there is a gap. A chasm exists between the knowledge we possess and the needs of communities that need this information. A multidisciplinary approach utilizing a broad range of skills and 21st century communication tools can create the partnerships needed to bridge this gap. New partnerships are developing and UBC is ideally poised to maximize its ability to address the global health challenges before us. This talk will focus on how this can be achieved.”
