O compartilhamento do conhecimento entre pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais do programa Ciência sem Fronteiras

Abstract

Knowledge sharing is a fundamental process for new expertise generation in organizations and countries. The aim of this article is to analyze forms of knowledge sharing established among foreign researchers and their contributors in Brazil, who are participants in the Ciência sem Fronteiras program. It is a combined and descriptive research, which uses an on-line questionnaire for information collecting. It uses especially factorial analysis for data obtained by objective questions, and content analysis to process subjective data. The results indicate that sharing occurs mostly through dialog during meetings, through seminars and articles production, influenced by individual and collective factors, organizational and cultural differences. The method employed have proved to be suitable for replication in other groups and international scientific cooperation programs
