Conferences

• University of Stellenbosch Knowledge Management Conference 2012, January 16-18, 2012, Cape Town, South Africa
  Title: The democratisation of knowledge: The role of knowledge in the betterment of society
  
  The objective of this ‘discussion-intense’ conference is to move from the theory on knowledge in social organisations, through the implications for society, to practical social policy-making to address the asymmetries of knowledge in society.

  In essence, this is what we are working towards:

  • Exploring the theory on the dynamics of knowledge in networks and organisations
  • Looking at a system-based knowledge model which links theory to socio-economic context
  • Examining this model in an informed policy debate to develop an action agenda for reducing disparities in knowledge in our stratified societies.

  It all starts with being knowledgeable.
