=== Description ===
A knowledge café brings people together to have an open, creative discussion on topics of
mutual interest. It can be organized in a meeting or workshop format, but the emphasis should
be on flowing dialogue that allows people to share ideas and learn from each other. It
encourages people to explore issues in a novel or original way generating new understanding
and ideas that can be used constructively in an innovative R&D environment. It also helps
people network and make connections for future work activities and collaboration.
A knowledge café is run by a facilitator, who before the event considers the topic for
discussion and invites appropriate participants to attend. During the knowledge café event,
members arrange themselves in small groups and have an open exchange of ideas. It is normal
for such discussions to last around 30–60 minutes. At the end of the group interaction, the
facilitator asks each group in turn to summarize the main points of the discussion. Crossfertilization
of new ideas occurs and it is common practice for the facilitator to capture the
key points raised and distribute the findings to all members at a later date.
