Dr Presidente will discuss how to distinguish between disruptive breakthroughs and incremental discoveries by using data citations of over ten million research teams in eleven fields of research from 1961 to 2020.
He will show there is a robust and significant negative impact of remote collaboration on breakthrough discovery. However, beginning in the 2010s, the negative impact tapers off and even becomes positive.
Giorgio will provide evidence suggesting that the reversal is driven by improvements in key technologies needed for effective remote collaboration.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in science, remote work, innovation, teams and colocation.
This is a hybrid event and you can attend either virtually or in-person.
