Rethinking Academia is an initiative aimed at organizing events (e.g., panel discussions, talks) to raise awareness about the current structural controversies emerged within academics. The academic environment is, in fact, facing a number of systemic problems — such as inclusiveness, the organisation of the scientific publishing, and the attribution of funding — that hardly find dedicated platforms where to be discussed by researchers. This first public debate aims at facilitating stimulating discussions on the current working machinery of the publishing system, in order to incentivize an active participation in the controversy of whether the publishing system shall be revised in the light of the different level of accessibility that the use of internet enables.
