Closing Out Your Research: Managing Data Transfer Between Collaborators

Knowledge transfer refers to sharing or disseminating knowledge and providing inputs to problem-solving. When employees leave, they take their skills and institutional knowledge with them. Capturing their knowledge and research outputs is essential to the success of future users.

This session will present the knowledge transfer process and what to document at the point of employee offboarding. We will explore how individuals collect, organize, access, store and share project data in order to facilitate reuse and ongoing project work.
