Definition:A Professional Virtual Community is an association of
“individuals” (being those employed by Companies or Individual Professionals) explicitly pursuing an economic objective, identified by a specific knowledge scope and aimed at generating value through members’ interaction, sharing and collaboration. This interaction is optimized by the synergic use of ICT-mediated and face-to-face mechanisms. The overall PVC generated value consists of advanced knowledge, professional services and social cohesion among members. The PVC members temporarily aggregate in Virtual Teams (VT) for addressing specific business opportunities. It is up to the members to decide the extent of their individual involvement in PVC activities, which is complementary to, and co-existent with, other classical occupational forms.

Remarks:• Professional Virtual Communities (PVC) are emerging as human
focused new organizational arrangements aimed at leveraging knowledge development, value creation and social welfare.
• The innovativeness of the Professional Virtual Community concept, as compared to already existing individual associational forms such as Professional Communities, Communities of Practice (CoPs), Virtual Communities etc., is in the comprehensive and appropriate inclusion of the three following dimensions: Knowledge / Business / Social
• The PVC is intended to give to individuals a sense of purpose, a mean for economical sustainability and a feel of belonging, whilst addressing the objectives of the whole society, respectively in terms of supporting the realization of a knowledge-based economy, business growth and social welfare.
