1 Knowledge Sharing and Innovation - Team KSI A Member of the CGIAR Consortium

2 Knowledge Sharing and Innovation Improves ICRISAT Capability to inform, dialogue with, and serve its stakeholders Data Services CRPs Resilient Dryland Systems Markets, Institutions & Policies Information Services Education Services Innovations Dry land Cereals Grain Legumes Regional Programs Foster Greater Convergence between research and its utilization in AR4D Enhancing Research Improving Operational Efficiency Capacity Building Facilitating Cultural Change Facilitating information exchange, linkages, PPP Enhancing Impact

3 Knowledge Sharing and Innovation Implementing in three tracks with five different units KM for Cultural Exchange KM for Enhancing Org. Effectiveness Innovations in KS for Impact KSI Units 1. Information Systems Unit - 2. Data Management Systems- 3. Library and Information Services- 4. Learning Systems Unit- 5. ICT for Development- Sustain ICRISAT Technology Edge Available access to data to get successful results Available access to research publications Organize capacity building activities for learner-participants Innovations in linking research-extension-farmers-markets

4 Information Systems Unit (ISU) Sustain ICRISAT Technology Edge facility (700 mail boxes) Support to Research Blogs, websites 35 servers and 2 clusters Telepresence EPAD and KSI Connect

5 ISU Proposed CRP work plans Develop a crop expert system Captures crop information across CRP institutes through institute linkages, geographical information. Also captures work progress at partner agencies. Allows to run queries to retrieve the output through state of the art rule and fuzzy logic based export system. Local Area Network to Wifi Enhance large part of network (at Patancheru) from 100 mbps to Gigabit speed and induction of secure wi-fi components for each building. It will be done in phases. Best experiences will be replicated to regional centers.

6 Data Management Unit Access to data to get successful results Decentralized Data Management Platforms with Central Data Repository

7 Data Management Unit Access to data to get successful results CRPs Decentralized Data Management Platforms with Central Data Repository

8 Data Management Unit Access to data to get successful results Develop/Outsource a Data Management Application Tool with spatial integration and statistical analysis using proper data modeling techniques for Grain Legume crops and Dry land Cereals Organize CRPs training programs and capacity building activities to bring awareness and cultural change among scientists Work closely with consortium to integrate the system with Spatial Data Commons and Breeding Data Sharing (others are Open Access Policy, Knowledge Commons and Research Project Management on Big 5 of Consortium) Decentralized Data Management Platforms with Central Data Repository

9 Library and Information Services Available access to research publications Open Access Repository

10 LIS Proposed CRP work plans Mapping global crops research using scientometric techniques Literature profiles of ICRISAT mandate crops will be developed

11 LIS Proposed CRP work plans together with DMU and Biometrics Institutional Data Repository The campaign begins for systematic data archiving

12 Learning Systems Unit Organize capacity building activities for learner-participants Hosting learner-participants (Students, visiting scientists, Research Fellows, Scholars etc.) Online database (from 1974) Capacity Building Activities (Short courses, training programs, study tours etc.) Seminar-series (KSI Connect) Online Learning Modules (AgED Open Courseware)

13 LSU Proposed CRP work plans Towards a paperless registration of learnerparticipants and excellent repository of standardized information on all aspects of capacity strengthening activities of the Institute that: - Supports data requirement of scientists as inputs to proposals - Furnishes such information to management to support review processes and the development of performance indicators.

14 LSU Proposed CRP work plans (AgED Open Courseware - Facilitate Virtual Learning and Training)

15 KSI Connect A Virtual Knowledge Series from ICRISAT

16 ICT for Development (ICT4D) Agropedia Virtual Knowledge Networks ICRISAT s M4D consortium project is serving nearly 25,000 farmers: regularly sending useful crop advisories as voice messages Mobile for Development Expert Farmer Farmer Expert Expert - Expert

17 ICT4D proposed CRP Work Plans Develop Grain Legumes Portal Digital library : Multilingual/Crowd- sourced OpenAgri : All publications on GLs Knowledge models : All major grain legumes Social/Knowledge network : GL-Net/Wiki/Blogs/Forum Package of practices : Text/Voice Video gallary : Best practices/ technologies Virtual Extension service : Out reach through mobile telephoney Develop Knowledge Models soybean, cowpea, lentil, black gram and mung bean, finger millet Enhance Digital Knowledge Repositories of Grain Legumes and Dry Land Cereals by mobilizing content through Agropedia platform Build capacity of NARS partners Develop knowledge network Dissemination of agro-advisories

18 Center of Excellence in ICT innovations for Agriculture Provides a platform to bring ICT innovations in Agriculture by integrating science, technology and value chain approaches (Farm to Fork) through public-private partnership approach

19 COE proposed CRP work plans KSI team together with ICRISAT scientists and across CRP partners Design and develop 5 experimental hubs Contribute CRP 3.5 SC5 proposed activities - ICT enabled knowledge sharing and Innovation platform that include a wide array of ICT components Grain Legumes Net, Connect, Open-courseware Platform with Learning Objects repository, Data Analytics and M&E platform, and extension & outreach component - Student Scholarships Contribute CRP 3.6 Value Chain Activities Contribute to WLE SRP5 activities Information Systems through tablets Contribute to CCAFS Improved, value-added climate information products, knowledge, tools, methods; and platforms
