NetCom participates in the VI Transnational SCICO+ Meeting in Naples:

Innovation and collaboration for scientific communication.

  The final VI Transnational Meeting of the “SCI-CO+” project, funded by Erasmus+ and coordinated by the IDIS Foundation – Città della Scienza, took place in Naples from May 6th to 8th, with significant events that brought together museums, universities, research centers, and European businesses. NetCom, an active partner within the DATABENC District, contributed actively to the development of innovative strategies for museum scientific communication, presenting the final results of the project, which involved “eight partners from five countries” (Italy, Ireland, Romania, Portugal, and Sweden).   The SCICO+ project aimed to fill a gap in the field of scientific communication by creating an innovative methodological and technological system (“e-SciCo”) based on advanced ICT technologies for the creation and use of content. This allowed for the training of specialized professionals and the modernization of communication strategies, focusing on sustainability, inclusivity, and global accessibility. The main result was the creation of the SCICO+ platform, which offers theoretical and practical courses, interactive workshops, and training tools validated by experts. To date, the platform has over 200 registered users, with 9 training modules, 64 lessons, and 50 activities, thanks to the collaboration and contributions of all the project partners.     During the three days of the event, held between the IDIS Foundation and the University of Federico II, crucial topics were discussed, such as the role of museums in the 21st century, digital transition, and scientific storytelling. Alfredo Troiano, Technical Director of NetCom and head of the R&D department, presented the activities of the DATABENC District within the SCICO+ project, emphasizing how collaboration between businesses, research, and cultural institutions is essential for promoting innovative solutions.  

SCICO+ Event Program

Key moments of the meeting included:

  • Cultural visits to the Museo del Palazzo Reale di Portici (MUSA) and the galleries of the University of Federico II, symbols of the fusion between history and innovation.

  • Interactive sessions such as the “Future Lab,” where future perspectives for professions related to scientific communication were discussed.

  • Results sharing, with the presentation of the SCICO+ platform and the agreement for its continued use after the project.

  On May 7th, during an interactive session with students and professionals at the University of Federico II, the importance of tools such as “digital design” and “computational thinking” was highlighted to make science more accessible. The following day, at the ICOM conference, the discussion focused on how scientific communication can help museums become more inclusive and sustainable institutions.

The SCICO+ project, with its funding from Erasmus+ (Conv. No. 2022-1-IT01-KA220-VET-000086033), represents an example of how Europe can unite resources and expertise to train professionals capable of making science a shared asset.

Thanks to the platform developed, museums, institutions, and businesses now have access to concrete tools to improve cultural and scientific accessibility, as demonstrated by example lessons on "digital design" or "creative storytelling with zines."

NetCom continues to support initiatives that combine technology, culture, and innovation, strengthening the role of the DATABENC District as a development hub for cultural and scientific heritage.
