Abstract

The BITrum Project is launched as an interdisciplinary endeavour to understand information in all its variety, striving for gathering the most relevant points of view. Founded in 2008, it is and nowadays constituted by more than 60 members from different nationalities around the world covering knowledge fields from telecommunications to philosophy, from biology to library science, from physics to social sciences. Since its constitution, BITrum has developed a set of net-working tools –here described- for the constitution of a virtual research community aimed at sharing resources, improving communication and enabling collaborative work. Finally, the initiative for the inter-nationalisation of this virtual research community –pursuing the horizontal interconnection of the global community of information studies- is exposed, followed by a scientific research programme planned for an effective interweaving of different frameworks to be deployed within the European Research Area.
