Social Knowledge Networks at ITESM

The Social Knowledge Networks project has been defined, at Tecnológico de Monterrey, México, as a specific action for a better knowledge creation and transfer. The objective of this project is to identify and promote networks of its faculty members distributed along Mexico, and other agents, internal or external to the institution, with which they actually or potentially collaborate in different knowledge areas. A specific Model and Tool for Social Knowledge Networks based on collaboration and peer recognition relations has been developed. The objective of this document is to present some elements of the Model defined for this purpose; the process for data recollection, some of the current results, and main opportunities found.
