Welcome to the Knowledge Transfer Social Community

The Value of the Network
There’s strong evidence that innovation and performance – both at an individual and organisational level – improves with increased individual connectivity.

Learning from peers, keeping in touch with policy developments and simply assuring ourselves that we are not doing something crazy, or social networking: all these have a value, over and above formal conferences and reports.

To help you find peers that have similar interests and problem, or those that have complimentary skills or technologies, AURIL has launched the Global Innovation Network (GINNN).

This AURIL community will form the core of this brand new network, with a view to improving members’ connectivity beyond AURIL, especially connecting with other national and international online communities including those in industry and academe.

The Relevance of the Network
Relating squarely to the practice of knowledge transfer the site will also be open to other communities interested in knowledge transfer and related topics.

What the Online community will let you do:

Network
You will immediately see your unique profile – placing you at the centre of the rapidly expanding KT community. It will also allow those of you who are attending the AURIL conference in Cork (and other events) to identify other attendees of interest - removing some of the serendipity of bumping the right person in the coffee queue.

Profile yourself and search others
Immediately see a unique visual representation: placing you at the centre of the community it will it offer an immediate view of the interest of others to you the individual, against your own profile.

Communicate
Visualize your contacts or your network, invite people or do an advanced profile search. Share knowledge and experiences through the advanced message centre. Create newsletters and discussion groups for your contacts and other members of the platform.

Collaborate
Share your documents and your calendar. Publish articles and documents and collaborate in projects using the Wiki either in public or private member groups. Open up your skills and knowledge to a broader community.

This new development will put AURIL members at the centre of what will become the largest online community for Knowledge Transfer and Innovation.

The service is entirely free to AURIL members and offers an ideal opportunity to promote your profile and expertise in knowledge transfer. For your convenience, as you are a member of AURIL, we have automatically registered you for the community. Please click this link to get your username and password.
