Why?
OWC's Knowledge Mobilization initiative aims to moving knowledge from formal research into active use through science-oriented content. It demystifies technology and disseminate research results, innovative technologies and processes.
What?
Short educational videos (5-15 min.); Scientific articles; White papers; Audios/Podcasts; Interviews; Thesis in 400 words; 3 Minute thesis and more!

The webinar recording and event summary are now available!
In this video:
- Rachel Arsenault presents the impacts of the First Nations water crisis to local
communities in Canada.
- Using the map of Ontario’s drinking water advisories in 2016, she illustrated and highlighted the water crisis occurred.
- Also, a timeline of water security impacts, reports, and legislation affecting First Nations in Ontario from 1919 to 2023 was presented.
In this workshop report, you will find:
- Process intensification strategies,
- Workshop outline and content,
- Different case studies,
- Key Learnings and take aways.
