The volume of data and different formats (text, video, images) today is overwhelming, and traditional search, while brilliant for 'known item searching', does not perform well around 'conceptual search' In this presentation we will explain how next generation technology can help deal with fragmented information in multiple formats and to help make sense of this for researchers, and more importantly, how it can help people find connections that they didn't even know to look for The audience will be invited to review some real case studies across different areas of how the new technology (hyperknowledge) has helped drive research forward in various domains and also how it's driving up standards in teaching environments The audience will learn about the potential of this groundbreaking new technology which changes how research is conducted, and how research communities and individuals can engage and work together.
