- 8. Key Activities The mainproject activities shall consist of: Knowledge Portal Knowledge Symposia Learning Routes Flashtalks by stakeholders to analyse KM assets and build impact based solutions. Confrontation of stakeholders KM assets to share best practices. K Management platform with e-learning and dissemination modules included.
- 9. Global engagement ofstakeholders to a) enhance their relationship with end users through e-learning b) enhance the quality and frequency of their Knowledge Sharing c) showcase their achievements to funders and donors. Key Objectives The main project activities shall obtain at the end of the project life cycle: Foster knowledge and competences exchange between stakeholders to highlight the benefits of mutually compatible KM practices, easing Knowledge Sharing and partnerships for greater impact. Train at least 1 KM Officer for each stakeholder. The KMOs shall be able to reciprocate the KM knowledge transferal process to other members within their institutions or outside.

Editor's Notes
- #3 …, ensuring the sustainability, replication and the scaling over time of KM practices
- #7 KM Starts with the definition of an institutional WF (Zeroing Liabilities; Data Management Transparency for Donors’ review) Share the peer-reviewed information products through impactful media (e.g. journals, institutional repositories and websites, research (ASNS) and social media), platforms and events, according their type and subjects, within the communication plan framework. Monitor the information products position within media, guarding the knowledge’s safety from predators and ensuring correct licensing and attribution. Evaluate the shared knowledge through authoritative platforms, events, indexes and metrics. Learn from the feedback of knowledge sharing and evaluation. TO-DO: produce Knowledge and report/attribute/license it in the best ways (we will see few simple measures in the next slides) in order to make it easy to go through KM steps, so to reduce time spent in the workflow and maximize the effectiveness of Knowledge Sharing. Remember: each result will in time become obsolete and your research too, minimizing the time spent in the workflow will maximize the research value.
- #8 These 3 elements will encompass key aspects of institutional Knowledge Management in an holistic perspective: Policies/Administrative Workflow/Programmatic IT/End User Interface Knowledge Management activities will aim at: Establish or enhance a clear workflow of data within stakeholders (to boost performance and 0 liabilities) Increase Data Quality Have Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable Data Appropriate KM implies a system approach to the whole process, in order to systematize the data flow within institutions, this being Reports, E-Learning Modules, Policy Briefs, Comm products, Technologies, Methodologies or any other kind of Knowledge produced that can be built upon for future scaling-up and scaling-out of practices or initiatives. IMPORTANT: Time is Impact! Don’t let your Knowledge get stuck in the workflow. KM process and tools (i.e. Knowledge Portal) will help you. Accurately plan and timely report your Knowledge and Intellectual Assets. The KM responsible in your institutions will provide the right kind of support in time for the Knowledge to keep flowing. Time is Impact!
- #11 Correct attribution and licensing is not always easy to ensure with traditional measures (i.e. signing the info products). To keep up with the digital environment and minimize the leaks KM needs up to date tools. ORCID provides global, unique recognition and attribution to the Scientist. TO-DO: register and ORCID iD and use it for attribution. Sync it to MEL for automatic attribution. FAIR principles of KM ensure Institutional transparency that, shared with partners Institutions, ensures better KM overall and better attribution and licensing. TO-DO: only trust ASES and repositories respecting these principles, it will help your research and foster the dissemination of papers. CC is the global standard for attribution and licensing, easy to use and suitable for every individual or Institution. *Data of CC Network https://network.creativecommons.org/ last updated up to 2010. TO-DO: use Creative Commons to license your work, it is a world wide recognizable standard easy to implement as metadata in all repositories, also it is free to use. Just apply the label generated here https://creativecommons.org/choose/ SHERPA/RoMEO is one of the most authoritative web services for Publishers attribution and combined with other global standards and trends for publications safety (such as Beall’s List) ensures great accuracy in mapping products. TO-DO: before submitting your paper, use SHERPA/RoMEO to check for the journal’s and publisher’s authority, licensing and sharing policies. MEL will automatically detect the sharing policy of the publisher when a JA is reported. Employing such measures raises the prestige of the Institution and the value of its research toward Partners, Stakeholders and Funding agencies.
- #12 ICARDA builds on the experience of 2 successfully lead portals: MEL, AReS (new generation) KM Portal needs tools able to (basics): disseminate Knowledge (repository, mailing system) store Knowledge (repository) up to date metadata standards and web services (for Data Quality and Legal) Module for e-learning (survey system, resource packs) dashboard for Donor’s supervision of activities and results (open facts) … (An Open Alpha link will be provided for the partners to follow up the development step by step)
- #14 3 minutes KManagement takes care of guiding knowledge through SECI and maximize research results in a way to form the basis for new research and applications, boosting impact, benefiting scientists and their institutions. SECI in details: Socialization (Knowledge Sharing, informal) is the process of sharing tacit knowledge through observation, imitation, practice, and participation in formal and informal communities (Yeh et al., 2011), both within a physical or virtual space. It is the first step of results out of a conducted research. Externalization (Knowledge Sharing, formal) is the process of articulating tacit knowledge into explicit concepts (Yeh et al., 2011) aka manuscripts and drafts, peer review. Combination (Monitoring & Evaluation) is the process of integrating concepts into a knowledge system (Yeh et al., 2011) aka reports, trend analysis, policy briefs, executive summaries, database upgrades. Internalization (Learning) is the process of embodying explicit knowledge into tacit knowledge (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995), learning from feedbacks, developing and adopting best practices adoption, scaling. It is the final step of results, now ready to form the basis for a new research. TO-DO: engage in communities, peer-reviews and other academically relevant social activities to collect the best insights for your Knowledge to be formulated in the best shareable way (see slide 2). Connect with ASESs (Academic Social Networking Sites) but especially go through institutional repositories such as CGSpace and MELSpace, which are already the result of the KM flow and are at your disposal 24/7 free of charge.
