The Global Knowledge Based Development Week will be a unprecedented constellation of events aiming at gathering practitioners, government officers, academicians, policy-makers, financing institutions, consultants, students and public in general interested in knowledge as the most distinctive development factor of our time. This unique convergence is made possible by a consortium of international organizations devoted to different aspects of Knowledge Based Development (KBD) and Knowledge Cities (KCs) including: The Center for Knowledge Systems/Tecnológico de Monterrey, The Center for Value Management, The Edgar Morin University, Elsevier/Butterworth-Heinemann, Emerald, The Ibero-American Community for Knowledge Systems, The Institute for Knowledge Asset Management, The Knowledge Cities Clearinghouse, The Knowledge Cities Observatory, The KNOW Network, Monterrey International Knowledge City Proyect, The New Club of Paris, The State Government of Nuevo Leon and Municipality of Monterrey, TELUQ-L’université à distance de l’UQÀM, The Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, The University of Caxias do Sul and The World Capital Institute. Together, we aim at sharing state-of-the-art frameworks, methods, techniques and experiences for the understanding, management and evaluation of KBD and KCs, thus contributing to set a global agenda in these fields. By bringing together from all around the world specialists on KBD-related areas such as Knowledge Management, Economics, Urbanism, Policy-Studies, Geography and other fields, we expect to inaugurate a transdisciplinary, cross-regional, interinstitutional dialogue on this powerful but still scarcely understood phenomenon.
