Res4Net

The Res4Net laboratory network arises from the realization that the languages and channels of scientific communication are changing. Young digital native researchers prefer social media and non-verbal communication for sharing their scientific results. The recent pandemic was an occasion in which new models of communication were experimented on a large scale. The Res4Net network of laboratories is proposed as a group to think, practice and promote, without profit, the new scientific communication with particular attention to collaboration and interdisciplinary integration. Res4Net does not formally bind its members and offers them the opportunity to increase the visibility of their scientific production. Members are offered support services for the development of multimedia products and guidance on the effective use of new media. There is also a space on dedicated blogs and social channels. In addition, seminars and public debates are promoted to increase reflection on the theme of new forms of scientific communication. Res4Net, therefore, makes its own and further enriches the aims of the IEEE Public Visibility initiative. Currently, the researchers belonging to the network come from 14 Italian universities and research institutes: Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino, Università degli Studi di Padova, Università di Pisa, Università degli Studi di Siena, Università degli Studi di Perugia, Università degli Studi della Tuscia di Viterbo, Sapienza Università di Roma, ICAR-CNR, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Politecnico di Bari, Università del Salento, Università degli Studi di Messina, Università degli Studi di Cagliari. Born from a group of Italian researchers, Res4Net aims to reach an international dimension as soon as possible.
