experience sharing

Das jährliche Symposium dient dem Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen den Wissenschaftlern.
The annual symposium serves as a forum for experience sharing among the scientists.
The word is a typical German compound. It is made up of 'die Erfahrung' (experience), the linking '-s-', and 'der Austausch' (exchange). The meaning is literally an exchange of experiences.
Wir organisieren ein Treffen für den Austausch von Erfahrungen.
We are organizing a meeting for the exchange of experiences.
This noun is often used in formal or professional contexts. Typical phrases are 'ein reger Erfahrungsaustausch' (a lively exchange of experiences), 'ein Treffen zum Erfahrungsaustausch' (a meeting for experience sharing), or 'etwas dient dem Erfahrungsaustausch' (something serves the purpose of experience sharing).
Das Forum im Internet dient dem schnellen Erfahrungsaustausch.
The internet forum serves as a place for quick experience sharing.
To say who is exchanging experiences, the preposition 'zwischen' (between) with the dative plural is often used. For example, one speaks of 'Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen den Kollegen' (exchange of experiences among colleagues).
Der Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen den verschiedenen Abteilungen ist uns sehr wichtig.
