“…Conferences are usually the cradle for opportunities to connect and network with the scientific community (Labrie, Amati, Camerini, Zampa, & Zanini, 2015), to develop ideas, and to establish collaborations (Gross & Fleming, 2011). A good conference has the capacity to ignite or revitalize scholars' curiosity, no matter their career stage.…”

“…In a sociology of science perspective, our results describe aspects of research collaboration [22] [23] and the formation of a new research paradigm with regard to interdisciplinarity [24], new research "cores", disciplinary cohesion [23] [25] or dissolution [26], emergence of new sub-disciplines and disciplinary identity [27,28]. The behavioural data we mine from the participants' interactions helps to find hypotheses on what is regarded "functional" [29] or "pragmatic" [30] in this specific interaction.…”

“…This adds to the investigation on the role collaboration plays for the acquisition and deployment of capital, which in our case can be specified as scientific or academic capital. With our empirical data we shed light on the actual behaviour of academic crowds and can test hypotheses on motives for academic networking [38] and career strategies [29].…”

We present the results of two studies on how individuals interact with each other during a international, interdisciplinary scientific conference. We first show that contact activity is highly variable across the two conferences and between different socio-demographic groups. However, we found one consistent phenomenon: Professors connect and interact significantly less than the other participants. We interpret this effect as non-tenured researchers using conferences to accumulate social capital, while established researchers already have such capital. We then show that groups mix well during conferences, but note that a language-based homophily is always present. Finally, we show that the dynamics of the contacts across days is also similar between conferences. First day connections are established, then filtering occurs during the following days. The connection turnover between consecutive days proves to be large (∼50 %), and related to the intensity of interactions.

Networking is not only essential for success in academia, but it should also be seen as a natural component of the scholarly profession. Research is typically not a purely individualistic enterprise. Academic social network sites give researchers the ability to publicise their research outputs and connect with each other. This work aims to investigate the use done by Italian scholars of 11/D2 scientific field. The picture presented shows a realistic insight into the Italian situation, although since the phenomenon is in rapid evolution results are not stable and generalizable
