Overview of the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health
In this session, the Leads, Scientific and Academic Directors of the six National
Collaborating Centres will provide an overview of the collective NCC program and the work that they are undertaking in knowledge synthesis, translation and exchange (KSTE).

Interactive session
Knowledge translation and dissemination are fundamental to the work of the NCCs. But just how knowledgeable are we about these topics? During this interactive session, participants will have the opportunity to share their knowledge about knowledge translation and dissemination. Participants will be asked specific questions related to KSTE and will then be asked to debate in small tables to come up with an agreed-upon response.

This session aims to encourage discussion among participants as they test beliefs and assumptions about knowledge translation and dissemination
