KNCV Knowledge Institute

KNCV Knowledge Institute Objectives

The KNCV Knowledge Institute objectives are:

1. To ensure that KNCV-supported innovations are at the forefront of research and development in the field, with a focus on quality assurance. Any innovations that prove to be effective will be effectively communicated and widely applied across KNCV-supported countries and beyond. This will facilitate national, regional, or global scale, as appropriate.
2. To formalize relationships with universities and training institutes, to ensure that they are mutually beneficial and promote clear knowledge transfer. This involves consolidating and structuring the KNCV internship and exchange program. This will enhance KNCV’s expertise in TB and related health issues and support the development of future leaders in the field.

To establish KNCV as a reference centre for TB research, innovation, and project implementation, we are undertaking a systematic effort to raise awareness of our existing resources.

KNCV Knowledge Institute expected outcomes by 2025:

• KNCV-supported research and innovations are easily accessible and visible on the KNCV websites worldwide and in KNCV communications
• KNCV research network mapped, clearly displayed on KNCV websites worldwide and up to date
