State-of-Knowledge and Guidance in EURAD Knowledge Management (Work Packages 11 State-of-Knowledge & 12 Guidance)
2021
Abstract. EURAD, the European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste Management (RWM), is the European Research Programme on RWM, aimed at supporting member states with
the implementation of their national programmes. It brings together over
100 organisations from different backgrounds and countries, which work
together in RD&D projects, Strategic Studies and Knowledge Management
(KM). The importance of KM is recognised by EURAD and reflected in a number of
activities. One essential activity is the capture of the current State-of-Knowledge in the field of RWM and its transfer to the implementation of the
different national programmes. This is done by different types of Knowledge
Documents that are made available through a dedicated IT tool (e.g. a
Wiki). The development of the individual EURAD KM documents is performed by
recognised experts. These experts will share their view on the most relevant
knowledge on a specific topic, highlighting safety functions and operational
aspects. Additionally, signposting to pre-existing documents is performed
(State-of-the-Art Documents, Scientific Papers, etc.). The hierarchy of the
works for the KM documents (Theme Overview, Domain Insight,
State-of-Knowledge, Guidance) is closely linked to the generic EURAD
Roadmap/GBS (Goals Breakdown Structure). It provides a hierarchical structure
that facilitates definition, organisation and communication of topics. All of
this allows knowledge to be captured and presented with the level of detail
that is required by the end-user, from a broad overview down to an increasing
level of detail (pyramid of knowledge). To ensure the quality and consistency
of the documents with the overall EURAD KM approach, quality assurance and
editorial procedures are applied. Collection of end-user feedback will aid the
optimisation and further development of the KM activities. To facilitate the
transfer of knowledge, the EURAD KM programme goes beyond documents and
strives to facilitate exchange between people and signpost to other resources,
such as Training and Mobility activities (also organised by EURAD Work
Package 13 Training & Mobility) or Communities of Practice. All these
activities will contribute to a useful and end-user-friendly EURAD KM
programme that is designed to be operational well beyond the runtime of
EURAD-1. This presentation will provide further insight into the approaches,
status of work and an outlook on future activities that will support member
states with the implementation of their national programmes.
