Posted by kieslinger in : events , add a comment

The International Conference on Knowledge Management has launched its call for participation. I have attended this event in the past few years and can recommend it. It attracts a good mix of experts and leaves enough room for discussions – formal and informal ones.

6-8
September 2006, Graz, Austria

Now in its sixth year, I-KNOW has a tradition of bringing together Europe´s leading researchers and practitioners involved in knowledge management. Attracting more than 450 attendees, I-KNOW is the premier conference on knowledge management in Europe. I-KNOW provides a perfect opportunity to stay abreast of the latest developments in the field. Both the human/organizational perspective and the technology perspective are covered. The novelty and the quality of the accepted contributions are ensured by a high-callibre program committee featuring international experts on a broad range of knowlege management topics. All submitted papers went through a rigorous review process, with a final acceptance rate of 40% only for full papers.

Overall, I-KNOW ’06 received a total of 154 full paper submissions, with 62 accepted full papers. 11 further submissions were recommended for acceptance as short papers.

zsi on a "knowledge walk” July 2, 2006

Posted by kieslinger in : events , add a comment

the centre for social innovation went on a knowledge walk for two days. somewhere in upper austria, well actually in gösing, most of the staff members of our organisation were discovering their strenghts, some old conflicts, secret football fans, and some nice hiking tracks.

overall, we spent two rather intensiv days, which gave the opportunity to discuss outside the regular office routine.

2 weeks ago the PROLEARN network of excellence on professional technology enhanced learning had a very successful summer school which took place in Bled, Slovenia. For all of those who missed it, but would like to get an idea of what it was like, there are various options to follow up on the event.

All presentations and recorded talks can be obtained via www.prolearn-academy.org or directly in Confolio (slides) and PROLEARN TV (video).

Here is the objectives of the event as announced on the PROLEARN Academy website:

Building on its first success in 2005, PROLEARN, the Network of Excellence in Technology Enhanced Learning for Professionals, is pleased to announce its Summer School 2006. Our ambition is to foster cross-domain training and collaboration opportunities among researchers in Europe and beyond, working in the disparate fields of expertise which promote the advancement of TEL at the workplace. The programme includes lectures from leading professors in the field, trans-European tutoring, mentoring, and joint research opportunities, as well as internships with industrial partners. Additionally the school will offer practical sessions in research methodology and the basics of Technology Enhanced Learning. Advanced PhD students will be identified to present their research at the EC-TEL 2006 Conference in October in Greece (extended deadline: June 14, 2006).
