Welcome to the first workshop on knowledge management within EUROfusion!
Knowledge Management (KM) is a growing discipline that has yielded various applications and best practices in a range of industries. Also the nuclear sector deals with it, as over the 100-year lifecycle of a nuclear power plant, the preservation and maintenance of relevant knowledge can be essential to ensuring the safety of operation. Also ITER has started some knowledge management activities.
It has been recognised and recommended that EUROfusion should include this perspective and develop a joint strategy. The European programme - through all laboratories, facilities and professionals - hosts an vast experience in the operation and commissioning of devices, in plasma theory, in material testing. Driving up the road that the roadmap sketches, the key succesfully arriving at electricity production is to keep and transfer all that is important to know to future generations. This is the task that we stand for.
The objective of this workshop is to discuss our programme from a KM point of view, identify critical competences and collect potential needs. Further objectives are to discuss the scope and start developing a picture of knowledge 'to be managed'. Several guest speakers will present how KM is done elsewhere, as well as some proposed pilot projects will serve as discussion points.
Please see the Registration page and answer 5 input questions, to start shaping the discussion. Even if you cannot or only partially join, your comments will be valuable.
