Communications and knowledge-sharing discussion

In March 2010 Global Impact Study team members working on the in-depth studies, survey, and inventory activities gathered to harmonize impact indicators and discuss the project’s approach to communications knowledge sharing. We outlined our proposed approach to communications and knowledge sharing and in the discussion that followed researchers expressed the need for an internal communication space where Global Impact Study members can ask questions, request feedback, and share resources, reports, and any other materials that are not ready or intended for public consumption. TASCHA has established a Dgroup for this purpose.

For more information you can download the communications and knowledge-sharing presentation, or view photos from the workshop.
