Academic Room [1] is the first multidisciplinary knowledge platform where you can build open communities to curate academic content within well-defined areas—ranging from philosophy, history and economics to engineering, architecture and medicine. The platform also dramatically reduces time to locate both credible scholarship and experts within a field of research. Academic Room is an independent initiative that is headquartered in the Harvard Innovation Lab.
Our mission [2] is to curate and disseminate scholarly resources, which are organized in over 10,000 academic sub-disciplines. With this structure, academics can benefit from highly specialized portals across disciplines. These portals have been enriched with scholar profiles, video lectures, syllabi, bibliographies, journal articles and books--thanks to the editorial assistance of some of the top scholars in the world.
You are invited to participate in our pilot launch. Please register [1] and also spread the word to others in your department!
Best wishes,
