In this article we present the results of our observations of the participation of partners in a research network project, through the use of the social web. The study was done during ntwork’s first year of existence as well as after the implementation of various communication tools. The study shows that while members feel relatively committed to the project, they do not actively participate in information and knowledge exchanges, which is one of the objectives of the partnership project. This confirms that it is not always easy to develop knowledge flows or communities of practice in research.
