Knowledge in Motion '08 is an international conference exploring how higher education institutions (HEIs) mobilize knowledge to affect regional development. Regional Development is understood here in a holistic sense as contributing to the economic, social and/or cultural well-being of citizens at the local or regional (sub-national) level. The conference will further explore ways in which research, teaching and practice create and apply knowledge with a social, economic, cultural, environmental, or health impact.  This conference will not only be about knowledge mobilization, it will itself involve knowledge mobilization.
