Abstract: | Knowledge networking in the cross-cultural setting here focuses on promoting a culture of shared communication, values and
knowledge, seeking cooperation through valorisation of diversity. The process is seen here in terms of creating new alliances
of creators, users, mediators and facilitators of knowledge. At the global level, knowledge networking is seen as a symbiotic
relationship between local and global knowledge resources. This focus is informed by the human-centred vision of the information
society, which seeks a symbiotic relationship between technology and society. It explores the nature of the knowledge in transition,
raising issues of technology and knowledge transfer in the local–global context. The notions of human–machine symbiosis and
of diversity and coherence provide a handle to explore the role of technology for sustainable development. The centrality
of knowledge in stimulating knowledge networking for cross-cultural collaboration is illustrated through an exemplar of an
EU–India Cross-Cultural Innovation Network project, a collaboration between European and Indian universities and institutes. |
