Setting up a knowledge reservoir: inventory of existing practices

A knowledge reservoir (KR) is a digital tool to disseminate knowledge on a specific area. The aim of a KR is to give access to technical outputs of Thematic Networks (TNs) that are ready for practice. All types of knowledge produced by a TN are intended to be disseminated.



To set up an effective KR in practice, you can opt to either (1) host it on a dedicated digital platform, (2) totally integrate it into the project website, or (3) adopt/choose an intermediate solution.

1) Having a dedicated knowledge platform to host the KR is not only a question of display, but it seems to be fundamental for the end users to see clearly/have clarity and find their way around.

2) Having a KR integrated into the TN project website might not provide easy visibility of the outputs available.

3) Having a mix of the two solutions, with the KR being diluted in all sections of the project website, makes it necessary to navigate through the entire website of the TN to be able to access all the knowledge content made available to the end user. It is not necessarily the most intuitive option for easy access to the most relevant content, but it can be a way to make a strong link between the TN project and the KR.



Of course, these are only the major trends because in practice the diversity of TN KRs has led to many other intermediate situations, which are all combinations of the three major trends described above.
