Hi All, Just chiming in to agree with Eric's point around the need for active engagement and facilitation for these kinds of online platforms. Wellcome commissions a platform dedicated to engagement specifically in Low and Middle Income settings (https://mesh.tghn.org/) and as much as we may wish for some online-platform-utopia where it is all generated and led by the community of practice, we really have found that it needs active development and curation to get the desired outcomes. It's not always appreciated by those that start (or fund) these initiatives but hopefully that can change so that these initiatives can grow past their first few years in future. Thanks for an interesting discussion, Georgia *Georgia Bladon* International Engagement Portfolio Manager The Wellcome Trust Gibbs Building 215 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE *E* *[log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>* www.wellcome.ac.uk On 12 October 2017 at 18:51, Alison Rivett <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Thanks everyone for the insights and the tips about where to find things > now (& from then). > > I guess (hope) the lack of use of Collective Memory doesn't indicate that > no-one in the sci-comm world is interested in learning from others' past > successes & failures, but perhaps just more likely to google* or look > elsewhere in the literature, now that there is more of that.
