<p>Societies develop better if properly manage their collective intelligence. The generation of collective intelligence is mediated by the application of institutional facts directed towards the production, distribution, dissemination and use of knowledge. Among the facts that enable social appropriation of knowledge stand the management, academic, communicative and educational kind. People and institutions that manage these types of acts contribute to the creation of more open and just societies.
