The Community Safety Knowledge Alliance and the The Mowat Centre’s Not-for-Profit Research Hub are hosting a two day event that will bring international leaders and innovators in evidence-informed policymaking together to share emerging trends, discuss lessons learned, and provide fresh insight into the challenges facing policymakers, practitioners, researchers and academics in their quest to determine ‘what works’.

The approach will also leverage local expertise, build on past initiatives, and bring together a diverse range of leaders, funders, and investors from across Canada. Topics covered include:

• best practices in generating, translating, and adopting evidence;
• exploring meaningful engagement in practice;
• the role of data and data sharing in evidence-informed decision-making;
• opportunities to embed evidence institutions in outcomes funding arrangements such as social impact bonds; and
• profile innovation and experimentation efforts in Canada.
