It’s spring. That means it’s raining, the birds are singing, the students are stressing over finals and it’s conference season. Spring also means ResearchImpact-RéseauImpactRecherche (RIR) is hitting the road. Our last road show blog was about our work in York Region. This blog takes us across the country. Every year at this time we exhibit and spread the knowledge mobilization gospel at the Canadian Association of University Research Administrators and the Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities. This year we’re at it again but bigger, better and busier.
