Knowledge Management in Research Collaboration Networks

Advances in science and research have brought knowledge management and collaboration together around shared goals. Nowadays, they are quickly becoming a hallmark of high-performing corporations. The convergence and integration of knowledge management and networked collaboration has helped to harvest the benefits of diverse research teams. This paper presents a study related to this. It discusses about how creating a dynamic research collaborative network can positively influence the creation and management of acquired knowledge. Additionally, it addresses the role of Living Labs and Digital Innovation Hubs in creating different research fields and projects. Then, as result of such successful research collaboration through the use of an established Living Lab, some improvements in an ontology that has been used in the domain, was made. In relation to this, a scenario of CARELINK project that provides some unique services and technologies for People with Dementia is introduced.
