6. WP3 objective
! WP3 is aimed at developing a knowledge
management framework for accommodating
different tools and means to be used

should integrate knowledge exchange needs
that have to be considered within each
social group at large and across different
social groups.

! Success stories will be analysed
! A summary of the main results of the latter
analysis and the previous conducted in WP1
and WP2 will be provided so as to highlight
what are currently the best tools that have
been used to guarantee information flows,
permitting to inform decision making with
new knowledge when relevant, and
supporting knowledge maintenance and
retrieval.

! Task 3.1. Development of a knowledge
management framework, addressing the main
goals to be achieved in more effective knowledge
co-production, sharing, maintenance, and
dissemination (Task Leader:POLIMI).
! What will be developed in this task is not a full
knowledge management system, but rather a
framework that will address the main issues,
influencing factors, and processes of such a
system.
