Knowledge Forums

    The effective use of knowledge is critical to the success of NASA's missions and the organization's long-term sustainability. Knowledge Forums are small, engaging one-day events that address different aspects of knowledge acquisition, capture, and transfer.

    The forums feature leading experts and practitioners from government, industry, and academia who deal directly with knowledge-related challenges. Participants interact with panelists to share stories and experiences in open discussion related to the evolving field of knowledge management.

    Emphasis is placed on informal discussions and networking in order to cultivate a strong and innovative knowledge community.
