= Welcome to the Komms Klinic training and awareness raising space! =

We all work with information and knowledge and we communicate continuously. We generate lots of knowledge and valuable ideas; we meet partners and colleagues in events; we need to organize, find and track our and others' knowledge. '**Komms Klinic**' helps you better communicate your work, generate and share information and knowledge and engage with partners.

Every six weeks, starting from 20 April 2012, we organize a public Komms Klinic session to give an overview of the main issues under each of the seven areas (see navigation bar on the left) that we have identified as key for smarter information, knowledge and communication. In addition, we invite any team, organization or individual to contact us for specific guidance on any of these areas or specific issues under each of these areas.
