Since 2021, joint scientific seminars on this subject, organized by the AGENCSO – Association for Knowledge Management in the Society and the Organizations – organize meetings between professionals and researchers in New Aquitaine. In 2025, « Traditional knowledge in the face of the challenges of the future, from cultural heritage to a source of innovation », compiling the work of these seminars, was published in
ISTE, and its English translation was published by WILEY & ISTE.
In 2025, the neo-aquitaine days will take place in Bordeaux on 27 and 28 November, and will mark an important step forward in work on the management of TK.
The first event will be the formation of an association dedicated to the subject which will make it possible to perpetuate the actions carried out over the last five years.
The second event will be the launch of a general forward-looking reflection on a generic structure capable of welcoming and managing the fundamental processes of TK management around the three fundamental axes of TK preservation, transmission and innovation, regardless of the knowledge field concerned. This device is named« Conservatory of Traditional Knowledge ».
