    Abstract: The netboard IT infrastructure is designed to facilitate the creation and support of Communities of Knowledge and Practice (CKP), by supporting the main activities required for participation. A netboard provides an active catalogue that contains brief structured descriptions of the objects relevant to the CKP, or "items" (which can be persons, projects, concepts, tools, documents, cases, stories, procedures, calls, rules…). Each description (the "page") is created and maintained by an owner, and contains, apart from a brief description that acts as a showcase, a series of structured standardized descriptors that facilitate searching and sorting, and links (URLs) to access the item itself and contact the owner. This hybrid structure is materialised as a portal combining functions of a website, a database, a search engine, a content management system (CMS), a directory, and a message board. It addresses essential functions of the management of a CKP (who does what, how to get access to them). It solves some of the main issues of the classic instruments, namely keeping the information up to date in a centralized manner while respecting the diversity of communication formats and the participants' privacy. By supporting the CKP and its growth, the netboard is also an instrument to foster participatory research. This paper describes the structure and functions of a netboard, and presents lessons learned while managing four of them.

    Abstract: In today's rapidly evolving knowledge economy, the symbiotic relationship between academia and industry is pivotal for fostering innovation, driving economic growth, and addressing complex global challenges. This paper delves into the strategic collaboration framework of MJRP University's Global Research and Industry Partnership (GRIP), an initiative designed to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial application. Through an extensive need assessment, the paper identifies critical areas where academia and industry intersect, evaluates the benefits and challenges of such collaborations, and proposes a comprehensive plan to enhance synergy between these sectors. The GRIP framework emphasizes multi-disciplinary research, technological advancement, and real-world problem-solving, leveraging MJRP University's robust academic expertise and industry connections. This initiative aims to create a sustainable ecosystem that not only accelerates innovation but also prepares students and researchers for the demands of a dynamic workforce. The findings highlight the importance of strategic alignment, resource optimization, and continuous stakeholder engagement in maximizing the impact of academic-industry partnerships. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers, educational institutions, and industry leaders to foster a collaborative culture that supports mutual growth and societal advancement.
