Sapienza Fashion - ModaSapienza

Submitted by Alessandro Saggioro on

Real training and virtual backup: this is the project Sapienza Fashion – ModaSapienza, based on a series of seminars held by top managers, analysts and entrepreneurs who best represent the Italian and international fashion system. We produced the website www.seminarimodasapienza.it with its corresponding Facebook page (modasapienza) and twitter account (#modasapienza). The website was launched in January 2012 following a warm-up period in December 2011.

Jellyfish and citizen science

Submitted by ferdinando boero on

Jellyfish are taking over the world ocean, replacing fish. The fish-jellyfish transition is being perceived at the level of the public due to dramatic increases in stung people, impairment of fisheries (due to predation on fish eggs and larvae and on the crustacean prey of the fish juveniles), clogging of cooling systems of coastal firms such as desalinization plants, and power plants, impact on cage aquaculture.

EU Foreign Policy and DEMocracy Promotion (EUDEM)

Submitted by Eudem on

The Jean Monnet Information and Research Activity on EU Foreign Policy and DEMocracy Promotion in the Mediterranean area (EUDEM) – coordinated by prof. Stefania Panebianco - was funded by the LLP of the European Commission and carried out by the University of Catania. The project appeared to timely grasp the winds of democratic change blowing in the Mediterranean area. Even if the research topic was identified in January 2010, it became even more relevant in 2011, when popular uprisings took place in many Arab countries.

University of Nottingham: The Periodic Table of Videos and Sixty Symbols

Submitted by meghangray on

The Periodic Table of Videos (PTOV) and Sixty Symbols (SS) are a collaborative effort between video journalist Brady Haran and the School of Chemistry and School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. Our two collections of several hundred short videos on scientific topics are hosted on YouTube and are available through our dedicated websites. The two channels have gained an enthusiastic global audience with over 29 million total video views. Though the initial goals of the projects were to produce one video for each element in the Periodic Table (PTOV) and 60 videos about the symbols used in physics and astronomy (SS), both projects have instead responded to a tide of viewer enthusiasm to evolve into ongoing projects far beyond their original scope.

The aims have been to introduce and promote research management among different target-groups of participants within the departments: researchers, PhD students and research fellows, on the one hand, research managers and support staff on the other.
