What is the Res4Net Network?
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.
The IEEE Italy Section granted patronage to Res4Net in December 2021.
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: Polytechnic of Milan, Polytechnic of Turin, University of Padua, University of Pisa, University of Siena, University of Perugia, University of Tuscia, La Sapienza University of Rome. , Institute of Computing and High Performance Networks (CNR), Federico II University of Naples, Polytechnic University of Bari, University of Lecce, University of Messina, University of Cagliari.
Born from a group of Italian researchers, Res4Net aims to reach an international dimension as soon as possible.
