Abstract
The Ph.D. is an initiative gained in the light of a role and a function of the "scientist" considered as a professional of scientific research. After a reminder of the historical evolution of knowledge processes starting from the fundamental phase of the age of Enlightenment, the article highlights how the interactions between scientific research , technological developments, social and economic changes as well as ideological are so numerous and deep that we can hope to have a complete view and to understand the variety of attitudes towards science and technology, only by examining the reciprocal behaviour of researchers . We cannot think anymore to a researcher isolated, there is a need for research and professional communities and connected in a network, and in the knowledge and information economy technology has become a part of the "distributed memory " that the researcher uses for work. New technologies allow a strong interaction between people. The knowledge is constantly evolving with the relationship between people/users and technologies. The circulation and sharing of information is a success factor, a desirable strategy to adopt and develop positioning PhD at the crossroads of the relationship between research, science and society. The contribution also advances a proposal for the establishment, within the SIPED of an "Institutional department " and possibly an intranet to guide the development and innovation in the lines of definition and construction of research projects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
