Work package 5 (WP5) of the ACUTE project aims to establish functions and structures of a possible Knowledge Hub for ENUAC, DUT and possibly even beyond the European level. We try to answer the question, if and how a Knowledge Hub can successfully be operated. This document and first deliverable of WP5 evaluates possible connections with other existing organisations operating platforms that may have similar objectives and to see whether there are lessons to be learned, mistakes to be avoided or opportunities for collaboration.Before setting out to identify the variety of existing solutions and organisations we need to define why such a Knowledge Hub is needed and what functions it should have.
