Networks of Expertise Centres as a mechanism for ICT knowledge transfer

Abstract

In order to overcome the gap between the cultural heritage sector and the ICT world, which is slowing down the successful use and implementation of ICT; this paper presents the methodology behind the creation of a ‘Network of Expertise’. The main objective of this network is to support the understanding of both worlds. The methodology known as learning networks integrates action learning techniques with the network approach producing a very powerful mechanism for sharing knowledge between different organisations. This presentation will also present the results of evaluation of the Network of Expertise.
