What do you mean with the term 'knowledge management'?

The main purpose of the work conducted by the working group Training and Knowledge Management (TKM) is to improve education and training in safeguards and non-proliferation for students and professionals in the European Union. The term 'Knowledge Management' is itself an issue. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the intention is to give a general background of the term knowledge management, its roots and emergence as an academic discipline and how it is used by practitioners in the field. Secondly, based on how knowledge management has been used in academia as a theoretical discipline and in the work life as a practical tool-box, the intention is to discuss how TKM ought to deal with the term. It appears that TKM could implement knowledge management in its activities through 2 ways. First way, as TKM carries out courses in safeguards and non-proliferation, it could also systematically produce and update course materials (text books, course compendium and digital version). Second way, TKM could disseminate its course materials to regulatory authorities and universities which are planning or running courses in safeguards. The paper is followed by the slides of the presentation
