Strategic relationships

We’re proud members of Research Impact Canada and The Conversation Canada. 

Research Impact Canada

Research Impact Canada (RIC) is a member-driven network designed to maximize the impact of research for the public good. This pan-Canadian network is dedicated to building institutional capacity for knowledge mobilization and research impact. AU has been a member of RIC since 2021.

The Conversation Canada

The Conversation provides fact-based news, analysis and expert opinion from the research community to the public. Through our relationship with The Conversation, researchers have an opportunity to extend the reach and impact of their work.

Athabasca University’s membership provides researchers with weekly callouts for advance pitches, priority publication opportunities, and pitch development workshops.
