The BALTA research partnership has functioned since 2006. A new partnership research project, Social Economy Intermediaries and the Transition to Sustainability: Scaling Innovation, represents a new research scope and program, with some ld partners and some new. The new partnership will function from 2014 to 2021 (subject to funding support), with the new research program beginning in mid-2015.
This MOU reflects the lived experience of community-university, practitioner-academic research partnership that has evolved in BALTA since 2006 and the lessons that have been drawn from that experience about how to ensure effective partnership and co-construction and mobilization of research. The MOU summarizes important principles and understandings that will govern the research partnership.BC Alberta Social Economy Research Alliance (BALTA
