The Nexa Center for Internet and Society today announces the members of the Nexa community for the 2025-2026 academic year.
This year we are welcoming a new Faculty Fellow, Dario Guarascio (Sapienza Università di Roma), and a new Fellow, Viola Negro (Politecnico di Torino).
The new Fellows
Dario Guarascio – Faculty Fellow
Dario Guarascio is an Associate Professor of Economics and Innovation Policies at the Department of Economics and Law of the Sapienza University of Rome, and an external affiliate of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa and the National Institute for Public Policy Analysis (INAPP). His research covers the economics of innovation, digitalisation and labour markets, European economics and industrial policy, and has been published in international journals such as Economics Letters, Industrial and Corporate Change, Economics of Innovation and New Technologies, Cambridge Journal of Economics. Guarascio is Associate Editor of the journals Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, Journal of Industrial and Business Economics and Economia & Lavoro, and is a former member of the Commissions of the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies for the reform of social safety nets, the promotion of women’s employment and the regulation of digital labour platforms.
Viola Negro – Fellow
Viola Negro is currently conducting research at the Nexa Centre for Internet & Society, focusing on Digital Technologies and Chinese Civilization under the supervision of Prof. Juan Carlos De Martin. She holds a Master’s Degree in philosophy from the University of Turin, specialising in history of philosophy of 20th century and in political and social philosophy. In 2024 she was visiting researcher predoctoral in Barcelona, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and she was a research fellow at the Department of Philosophy and Education Sciences at the University of Turin.
Honoring the ethos of “networking” which is central to an Internet & Society center such as Nexa, the Nexa community is also complemented by Faculty Associates, who will actively collaborate with the Nexa Center community through an array of channels.
These relationships, as well as the involvement of former collaborators, partners, students, interns and other colleagues, are fundamental to the work and identity of the Nexa Center, as well as to enhancing its capacity and expertise. The Nexa Center sincerely thanks both those community members who will maintain their affiliations with the Center during the coming academic year, as well as friends who – after important past contributions – will move to alumni status.
Finally, the Nexa Center commemorates the approaching 4th anniversary of Philippe Aigrain‘s death (11 July 2021) and the 8th anniversary of Stefano Rodotà (23 June 2017). Both Trustees of the Nexa Center since its foundation in 2006, Aigrain and Rodotà were scholars and friends whose ideas and deep humanity left an indelible mark on the memory of all of us.
