Dissemination of Knowledge
Making research outcomes, scientific data and project findings accessible and actionable for the people who can use them.
The association's dissemination services ensure that research outcomes, scientific data and project findings are made accessible and actionable to key stakeholders, transforming raw academic data into practical, real-world solutions through peer-reviewed journals, conferences, policy briefs, workshops and digital repositories.
The association publishes journals and books that contribute to the body of knowledge in diverse areas of study. These publications stand as platforms for members to publish their work, and as resources that help to secure the future of the discipline.
It also facilitates knowledge sharing and the communication of research findings to relevant audiences, using various strategies and methods to ensure that research outcomes reach those who can benefit from them, including other researchers, policymakers, practitioners and the public.
