  The Global Knowledge-Based Development Week is an unprecedented constellation of events aiming at gathering practitioners, government officers, academicians, policy-makers, NGO´s, financing institutions, consultants, students and public in general interested in knowledge as the most distinctive development factor of our time. It aims at sharing state-of-the-art frameworks, methods, techniques and experiences for the understanding, management and evaluation of Knowledge Based Development (KBD) and Knowledge Cities (KCs), thus contributing to set a global agenda in these fields. By bringing together the global specialists on KBD-related areas such as Knowledge Management, Economics, Urbanism, Policy-Studies, Geography and other fields, a transdisciplinary, cross-regional, interinstitutional dialogue on this powerful but still scarcely understood phenomenon is inaugurated.
