Patrícia de Sá Freire, 21/03/2023:
The main objective for the two events to be organized as a single event is to create bridges between academic and nonacademic researchers, between universities and public and private organizations, between public and private universities and, particularly, between the Graduate Program in Engineering and Knowledge Management at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (EGC/UFSC) and its organizational partners, other universities, graduates and alumni. The Graduate Program considered, by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes), as a reference in Brazil, proposes to promote these multiple bridges to the knowledge society, by hosting the two largest
international events on Engineering, Media and Knowledge Management: 18th ICKM and 13th CIKI.
The 18th International Conference on Knowledge Management (ICKM 2023) aims to providing worldwide discussions on the most contemporary models of knowledge management, multilevel governance, and organizational learning. ICKM´s main objective is to foster discussions about the role of coproduction via multiple stakeholders in the realm of knowledge generation, and also discussions about how governance strategies and knowledge management practices influence participation and collaboration for the coproduction, and thus how to use this new knowledge for the common good.
The 13º International Congress on Knowledge and Innovation (CIKI 2023) is the largest inter-American event on Knowledge Management, Learning Organization, Intellectual Capital and Innovation Management, with the objective of promoting conceptual, methodological and technological development for the practice of management and governance, public and private. Throughout its history, this congress has been consolidating itself as a forum for exchanging ideas, experiences, strategies and trends. the development of innovation ecosystems and environments, providing a great opportunity for researchers, academics, graduate students, leaders and innovation managers to present the results of their research and experiences at an international event.
In 2023, the two will join forces and value from different universities and organizations around the globe, and will bring together a diverse group of people interested in the transdisciplinary field of the themes, willing to share their experiences and also their professional or academic research work on all aspects creation, co-production, distribution and use of knowledge in society.
The major 2023 event that builds on the bridge created between the 13th CIKI and the 18th ICKM, will provide an opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and educators from around the world to present and discuss the latest topics on innovation, trends, studies, concerns as well as challenges practices in the field of engineering, media and knowledge management.
Organized by the Graduate Program in Engineering and Knowledge Management at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (EGC/UFSC), by the International Council for Knowledge Management (ICKM), by the Inter-American University Organization (OUI), with the support of the Science and Technology Park of Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (TECNOPUC), in alliance with various organizations and institutions of higher education, favors the commitment of science and technology to the development, transformations and innovations of organizations and society.
In short, this major international ICKM/CIKI 2023 can be considered an important scientific, technological and innovation event, due to its transdisciplinary co-production methodology and its hybrid modality, in addition to bringing to the discussion, topics of high relevance for the transformation and development of Brazil and, particularly of the State of Santa Catarina, which propose to be a reference in innovation in the country. The event will enable the dissemination and popularization of research results, information on science, technology and innovations applied to multiple sectors, mainly education, health and public safety, smart city and digital transformation of industries and commerce in Santa Catarina. The interaction of researchers, professors, students, professionals, entrepreneurs, and other public agents, as well as the promotion of scientific and technological exchange in the State of Santa Catarina will be present through the participation and partnerships between UFSC and other national and international universities and, mainly, the coproduction of the event between the state, organizations and society.
The event will be hybrid with a face-to-face event in the city of Florianopolis, Brazil.
The international event ICKM/CIKI 2023, which will take place in the city of Florianopolis, Santa Catarina,
Brazil, has an especially relevant theme “Bridges for the Knowledge Society”, as it recognizes the need to build connections between different actors and stakeholders for co-production and dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge for innovation.
Florianopolis is a city that stands out for being one of the largest centers of innovation in the state and in the country, becoming, in recent years, a reference in STI in Latin America, in addition to being an important academic and research center, recognized worldwide for your pairs. With the realization of CIKI.ICKM2023, the city will be able to position itself even more as a center to produce knowledge and innovation, attracting the attention of researchers, companies, investors and entrepreneurs from different parts of the world.
In addition, Santa Catarina will be able to benefit from the connections and partnerships that will be
established during the event. Partnerships will be established with universities in the ACAFE system and with the 18 innovation parks, including city halls with initiatives to become smart cities, organizations undergoing digital transformation, and startups in different stages of development. The exchange of ideas, knowledge and experiences among participants will certainly generate new business opportunities, solutions to social and economic challenges, as well as advances in science and technology.
Holding the international event ICKM/CIKI 2023 also reinforces UFSC’s commitment to promoting the
production and dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge produced in its laboratories and
research groups, as well as the importance of collaboration between different actors and sectors for scientific development, technological and social.
Finally, the theme “Bridges to the Knowledge Society” highlights the need to overcome barriers and promote dialogue and collaboration between different areas of knowledge, as well as between different sectors of society. This is fundamental for the advancement of the State of Santa Catarina in several areas, from education and health to industry and the economy.
In summary, holding the ICKM/CIKI 2023 international event, with the support of UFSC and FAPESC, in the city of Florianopolis is extremely important for strengthening the production of knowledge, science, technology and innovation in the country, as well as for building bridges between different actors and sectors of society.
