From early computer networks to major research infrastructures: how networking has transformed scientific research.
On October 24, 2011, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Education, University, and Research in Piazzale J.F. Kennedy, the 20th anniversary of the GARR network was celebrated.
This celebratory event marked an opportunity to reflect on how research networks and their users have reshaped the way science is conducted in recent years. It also highlighted the benefits and opportunities that globally interconnected research infrastructures offer to the Italian scientific and academic community.
During the ceremony, the awards in memory of Prof. Orio Carlini and Prof. Antonio Ruberti were presented. GARR dedicated these awards to original proposals or works by young researchers on topics related to the Future Internet and Next Generation Networks.
