The La Collaborative

A multi-institutional, cross-sectoral network led from McMaster University, The/La Collaborative’s objective is to steer social and human research and skills where they are most needed by creating new models of knowledge mobilization and talent-building for innovation and social impact that focus on the needs and interests of community partners. A community that promotes new approaches to knowledge mobilization and training to meet the needs of emerging researchers in the social sciences and humanities while catering to the needs of their communities in new, relevant ways. The/La Collaborative’s activities revolve around collaboration and experiential training. Through their engagement, academics and students increase the impact of their university in their community and fuel collaborations that span across universities and their communities.
