The Knowledge Generation Panel is responsible for identifying the future knowledge requirements of the Institution and for recommending new knowledge development projects, which may include updating current guidance, to the committee.
The Panel should be drawn from a wide cross-section of CIBSE membership in terms of discipline, location and diversity of those involved.
The activities of the Knowledge Generation Panel support the functions of the Knowledge Management Committee.
