Social Innovation takes new ideas and puts them into practice for the public good. \u00a0David Phipps, director of York's Research Services and Knowledge Exchange and leader of York University\u2019s Knowledge Mobilization Unit and ResearchImpact-R\u00e9seauImpactRecherche (RIR), Canada\u2019s knowledge mobilization network, played a role in realizing the commitment by both countries to social innovation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2012\/06\/Phipps_David_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-167139\" style=\"margin: 8px\" src=\"http:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2012\/06\/Phipps_David_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"153\" height=\"204\" \/><\/a>David Phipps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It began in September 2011, when British Prime Minister David Cameron met with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The pair discussed many matters, including international diplomacy, national security, the economy and innovation. During their meeting, they decided to build on their countries\u2019 mutual interests in science and innovation by committing to a joint innovation statement. <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3-oBaKGxK1A&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to view a video of Cameron's address to the Canadian Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2011, some two months after the prime ministers agreed to draft the joint innovation statement, Phipps travelled to the UK for a series of meetings on knowledge mobilization and social innovation. While there, he met with representatives from the <a href=\"http:\/\/researchimpact.wordpress.com\/2011\/12\/08\/sandra-nutley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Centre for Research in Families &amp; Relationships<\/a> at the University of Edinburgh and the <a href=\"http:\/\/researchimpact.wordpress.com\/2011\/12\/13\/david-phipps-opening-address\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Community University Partnership Program<\/a> at the University of Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that time, I wrote in <a href=\"http:\/\/researchimpact.wordpress.com\/2011\/12\/08\/sandra-nutley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mobilize This!<\/a> [a blog about ResearchImpact and knowledge mobilization] about my meetings ,\u201d said Phipps. \u201cWhat I didn't write about at the time were my meetings\u00a0with agencies interested in social innovation. I met with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youngfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Young Foundation<\/a>, a global leader in social innovation, and with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nesta.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NESTA<\/a>, the UK\u2019s innovation foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Accompanying Phipps to the meetings was Caroline Martin, trade commissioner for science and technology with the Canadian High Commission in London. \u201cWe discussed the importance of social innovation to Canada and the United Kingdom, a conversation we then continued with Nicole Arbour, team lead for the Science &amp; Innovation Network at the British High Commission in Ottawa. Together we explored opportunities for collaboration on social innovation with Canadian organizations such as <a href=\"http:\/\/sigeneration.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Innovation Generation<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcconnellfoundation.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McConnell Family Foundation<\/a>, organizations whose leadership in social innovation parallels that of NESTA and the Young Foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phipps learned that Martin and Arbour were assisting with drafting the Joint Innovation statement that was called for by the prime ministers. \u201cOur conversations helped inform the decision to include social innovation in the text of the Joint Innovation statement,\u201d said Phipps.<\/p>\n<p>Once completed, the Joint Innovation statement included this declaration: \u201cThe Participants will consider taking joint initiatives in the following priority areas [including] Social Innovation: Working with academic, government and civil society partners to leverage research and innovation activities for greater societal benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phipps said the joint diplomatic commitment to social innovation between Canada and the UK has found another home with the Governor General of Canada David Johnston. On Feb. 17, 2012 he wrote about <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/commentary\/the-diplomacy-of-knowledge\/article546590\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">knowledge diplomacy<\/a> in an opinion piece published in <em>The Globe &amp; Mail<\/em>. \u201cSo how do we bring about a smart and caring world that is at once prosperous, sustainable and resilient?\u201d wrote Johnston. \u201cOur ability to work together \u2013 to practise the diplomacy of knowledge \u2013 will be the key to our success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\"Social Innovation is one outcome of knowledge mobilization for which York is developing an international reputation,\u201d said Robert Hach\u00e9, York\u2019s vice-president research &amp; innovation. \u201cNew discoveries are being made to address persistent social challenges through social innovation. Our conversations with the British and Canadian High Commissions helped inform the decision to include social innovation in the text of the Joint Innovation statement. The outcome reflects the growing international appreciation of the work of York\u2019s Knowledge Mobilization Unit and its leadership role in ResearchImpact, Canada's knowledge mobilization network, in working to turn research into action.\"<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCollaborating for social innovation is now recognized as a priority for Canada and for the UK,\u201d said Phipps. \u201cRIR-York was there and will be there working with colleagues from Canada and the UK to support knowledge mobilization as a process that enables enhanced social innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Republished <\/em><em>courtesy of<\/em><em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\">YFile<\/a><em>\u2013 York University\u2019s daily e-bulletin.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A joint diplomatic commitment to social innovation between Canada and the United Kingdom that was formalized May 9 has a connection to work underway at York University in the area of knowledge mobilization.
