Knowledge Management Consulting Services

Collaboration in partnerships help to achieve more. We are partners of the Knowledge for Development Partneship and facilitate local partnerships and Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships.

On a societal level we focus on the better understanding of knowledge ecosystems and how to make them more effective. Knowledge Partnerships are a key instrument for transdisciplinary research in this field.
