Welcome to the IAEA wiki on nuclear knowledge management. This is an initial attempt to formulate in structured manner knowledge on knowledge management which is relevant for nuclear domain.

The wiki is not a consolidation of all resources on knowledge management, as there are other institutions which have described basic concepts much better than the IAEA but it is meant to help sharing concepts, methodology, and experience in specific knowledge management applications, critical for nuclear organizations. The wiki is not a replacement of the global Wikipedia, as it is dedicated only to nuclear knowledge management, description of which is very poor in Wikipedia.

Jointly we can create, review, confirm and share our knowledge and experience, as well as references to make sure that we are equipped for managing nuclear knowledge in our every-day work.

The content of the wiki is an opinion of the expert community and does not represent the official position of the IAEA, unless explicitly mentioned or referenced from a relevant IAEA publication.
