Knowledge Networks
Digital public infrastructure for connecting people, ideas and institutions - so we can think, learn and act together across disciplines, sectors and borders.
Two living networks - one shared infrastructure for understanding how people, knowledge and intentions connect.
The Aspirations Network
A map of people, organisations and the goals they hold in common - built from open identifiers, public scholarship and self-declared intent. It surfaces the human side of the system so collaborators can find each other before a project is ever scoped.
- Find people and organisations whose aspirations align with yours
- See how interests cluster across disciplines and sectors
- Discover partners, mentors, funders and collaborators
The Knowledge Network
A map of works, ideas and evidence - the things people make, write, publish and cite. It connects research, practice and lived experience across the seven systems of wellbeing, and translates between the languages each discipline uses.
- See how ideas, evidence and questions connect across fields
- Bridge differences in nomenclature between disciplines
- Move from a single paper to the wider context around it
Networks as digital public infrastructure
Most of what we know, and most of what we hope for, sits inside platforms designed for engagement rather than understanding. Our knowledge networks are built on a different premise - that the connections between people, ideas and institutions are public goods, and that healthier digital systems start with treating them that way.
We design these networks as living systems. They grow with the communities who use them, adapt as new evidence and intent emerge, and reveal connections that span the biases of any single discipline, region or platform.
- Open by default - built on ORCID, OpenAlex and other public data
- Cross-bias by design - connecting across fields, sectors and worldviews
- Shaped by people, not engagement metrics
On the roadmap: projects, collaborations and joint content
Today the networks connect people, organisations and ideas through their public scholarship and stated intent. The next layer is projects - first-class nodes for the things people are actually working on, planning to start, or looking for help with.
Once projects are live, anyone will be able to propose a new project - describe what you're trying to do and the aspirations behind it - and the networks will suggest potential collaborators whose interests, expertise and stated intent align with what the project is reaching for. From there, collaborations move into joint content production - co-authored papers, multi-perspective white papers and evidence reviews that feed straight back into the Knowledge Network and out across the seven systems data network.
- Projects as a first-class node type alongside people, organisations and ideas
- Propose a project, get matched to aligned collaborators - across disciplines, sectors and geographies
- Joint content production - co-authored papers, white papers and living reviews emerging from the network itself
- Syndicated publishing across Neuro and partner sites, with content staying connected to its source
- Partnership signals - early indications of where missions, methods and aspirations align across organisations
