Foster research and knowledge impacts by engaging in knowledge sharing, co-production, and mobilization to gain insights and advance sustainability research and findings.

Enhanced accessibility of ESRC content

The ESRC’s administrative staff will work with Brock’s Marketing and Communications team to update the ESRC’s webpages and published documents to meet, with the aim of exceeding, the requirements for compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

Invite sharing of content by ESRC Faculty Affiliates

Enhance efforts to showcase the work and accomplishments of the ESRC’s Faculty, Faculty Affiliates, staff, and students, by creating a streamlined process for sharing content (e.g., via the ESRC’s social media channels, website, and newsletters, etc.). This process is meant to provide all those affiliated with the ESRC opportunities to highlight their work and accomplishments to ensure all voices are amplified and heard.

Engage in transdisciplinary knowledge sharing through collaboration on events and activities

The ESRC will continue to host regular events to showcase Faculty Affiliates, and student research. The ESRC will also continue to collaborate with others (e.g., departments, institutions, and organizations) on events and activities that are closely aligned with our mission and objectives.

Create an ESRC alumni network to foster connections and share professional successes of alumni

We recognize the value of connectivity among those who have graduated from our programs, both in terms of their career development and as a mechanism to build wider recognition of the value of the ESRC’s programs.

We will undertake the following actions to create the ESRC alumni network:

• Collaborate with Brock’s Alumni Relations office and the Brock University Alumni Association (BUAA) on building an ESRC alumni network.
• Encourage alumni to engage with the BUAA and take advantage of their services and benefits.
• Designate an ESRC alum main point of contact to engage other alumni.
• Build an alumni network page on social media platform(s).
• Host an alumnus ‘’homecoming’ event each year.
• Encourage alumni to host their own networking events, showcasing their career development and opportunities, with logistical support from the ESRC.
• Maintain a database of alumni to support targeted communication and for marketing purposes.
• Participate in BUAA-related events, including their awards program.
