Abstract

Social Networks are made of individuals who join efforts around them, and are depicted by the interactions among actors who have common interests. The underlying interactions to the social structure promote the sharing of information and knowledge in specific territories. This research’s objective was to study the information sharing within the Functional Foods Cooperation and Innovation Network in Paraná State (RECINAF), based on its mapping. For its accomplishment, the Social Network Analysis methodology was used, aiming the identification of the communication structure of a system, analyzing it according to its relations. The results show that the information sharing within the network happens intra-institutionally, that the connections among the scientific institutions in Paraná are fragile, and that there is no articulation for the specialty thickening of Functional Foods. It’s imperative that this articulation be encouraged, which can be developed by RECINAF.
