Area of expertise

Education & Knowledge Exchange

Teaching, mentoring and the link between academia and practice.

DIM grew out of a university environment, and education remains part of how we work. We see teaching and research as parts of the same effort to understand and explain social change.

We create opportunities for students and early-career researchers to take part in research, events and projects, and for professionals to update their knowledge. We also study how knowledge moves between universities, public institutions and civil society.

Knowledge exchange works in both directions: practitioners bring questions and experience that make research better, while researchers offer methods and evidence that make practice stronger.
