KNOWLABORATION addresses the need to develop an inter-organisational learning approach. Learning Networks (LN), structures that have formally been established in order to increase the participants’ knowledge and innovative capability, give organizations the opportunity to benchmark themselves to other organizations and also to support the self-directed learning of their employees.
Such an approach has previously been used in the case of regional networks (regional clusters of small firms in Italy are typical examples in such flexible specialization).
Such processes are greatly enhanced by the implementation of Information and Communication technologies, which in terms of the particular project, allow for supporting decision-making processes, tracking of individual learning processes, accessing the learning sessions and managing the particular knowledge assets.
Therefore, the specific objective of the project is to develop, apply, validate and exploit a dynamic tool-set (software platform and methodological guidelines) that will assist European inter-organisational learning networks empower their members and the involved individuals to define, develop and manage the content and the process of their learning.
