Towards Knowledge and Data Fusion Community : Knowledge Sources, Transfers and Co-Creation in Externally Funded Research and Development Consortiums

TLDR: In this article, user and stakeholders needs, proactive views and operational scenarios stimulate the knowledge and data fusion user community to foster proactive involvement of stakeholders following a user-stakeholdercentric approach in the validation and utilisation of knowledge sources and transfers, addressing to: user and stakeholder needs and requirements, user experience, animated and interactive design, legacy systems connectivity, interdisciplinary and co-creativity over vary silos and mutual trust building.

Abstract: One of the most important functions of every externally funded research consortium, e.g., FP and HORIZON, ACADEMY and TEKES, is to contribute to knowledge transfers and research and development related continuums between research programmes, higher education institutions, world of work, authorities, and actors of regional-national-union policy development and decision making. This empirical study is intended to the data and knowledge which can be transferred and co-created with participators as well as to the partnership relations of research consortium that can exploit parallel the data and knowledge sources, transfers, future continuums and high-value impacts in research-development-innovation processes. In this study, user and stakeholders needs, proactive views and operational scenarios stimulates the knowledge and data fusion user community to foster proactive involvement of stakeholders following a user-stakeholdercentric approach in the validation and utilisation of knowledge sources and transfers, addressing to: user and stakeholder needs and requirements, user experience, animated and interactive design, legacy systems connectivity, interdisciplinary and co-creativity over vary silos and mutual trust building.
