Building Communities of Practice Building Communities of Practice in Global Health Research A Community of Practice is a group of practitioners (thus specialists in their fields) who come together to share experiences and knowledge, solve a shared problem, promote best practice and develop professional skills. 1 The Global Health Network has been conceptualized and implemented based on the concept of Communities of Practice 1 , aiming at creating an open, trusted and neutral platform to help facilitate and promote interactions and knowledge sharing between healthcare professionals, researchers and research consortia. The innovative application of the Communities of Practice concept to the field of global health research and the use of cutting-edge digital technology to build and link these online communities has made The Global Health Network platform a unique and valuable portal for knowledge exchange. This highly interactive digital ecosystem, with its many discussion forums, blog posts and groups, has facilitated the interaction between a multi-disciplinary audience of users – coming from 195 countries – and leveraged the sharing of practical experience between healthcare professionals, creating a self-sustaining platform whereby each user contribution has helped to increase the platform’s knowledge capital, and advance the research processes across the regions. Over the past 12 months, The Network has become the “science park” for 36 research consortia who have set up a Community of Practice and has grown by 34% in comparison to previous years. The Network received 5 million visits, adding to an historical 15 million visits since its implementation in 2011.
