A knowledge commons refers to conceptual spaces where the boundaries between diverse locations of knowledge creation, forms of knowledge and uses of knowledge are diminished.  In such a commons, we are better able to address complex economic, social and environmental issues that confront us locally, nationally and around the world. The Summit on June 2nd,  2010 will catalyze conversation, connection and strategy development for action.  It will include a panel address, themed round table discussions on potential areas for action and opportunities to contribute to a strategic action plan.  For more information please see attachment.
