Knowledge Translation (KT) is a term used by healthcare professionals and practitioners to represent a process of ensuring that what is learned in research is applied in the field. Knowledge Translation includes all stages in the research and research uptake life cycle. In the knowledge management field, the concept of Knowledge Translation is characterized as knowledge transfer, knowledge exchange, knowledge sharing and knowledge use. This panel brings together these two perspectives around a common application area – delivery of health services to a multicultural community by international development organizations. The goal of the program is to build a shared view of the concept, and to expand our understanding of the challenges and opportunities of “doing” knowledge translation in a complex environment.
