What kind of support can we expect from Office of Knowledge Exchange, Research and Extension?

The Office of Knowledge Exchange, Research and Extension (OEK) can help you plan your knowledge network or community. We can advise you on possible activities to get you started and to help you grow and facilitate your network, as well as help you determine the technologies and tools which will help form your network. We can help you go through the knowledge network or community purpose Checklist (link to attached document here), and we will put you in touch with people that have faced similar challenges so you can learn from their experience and the solutions they developed.
