Projects with companies and institutions

The research project Santa Croce Comunica had the purpose of proposing a communication model for exhibitions and museums, conferring strategic priority to the welcoming of the visitor and making regular monitoring of the visitors behaviours.

  • Informazione istituzionale del 3W di Ateneo presso Unifi: monitoraggio, analisi, sviluppo
    Commissioned by the CSIAF, the CSL worked for the evaluation of the institutional communication strategies of the website of the University of Florence.
  • Comunicare Sicurezza (Regione Toscana)

The CSL realized a model of organizational communication able to valorise all the resourcesof the Regione Toscana working for in the security sector.

CSL developed a research project with the Azienda Ospedaliero-Univesitaria di Careggi (A.O.U.C), combining theoretic research on healthcare communication with research applied to the communicative objects of one of the most important national hospitals.

CSL works with the administrations of Figline and Incisa Valdarno in the project to merge the two administrations into a Comune Unico, and it supports the communicative aspects.


Languages and experimentations

  • ComunicazioneGenerativa.org

www.comunicazionegenerativa.org is a digital place where Toschi, the Communication Strategies Lab’s researchers and other researchers and advisors, keep working for the theoretic reflection and the practical activity described in the volume La comunicazione generativa.
The blog is an example of the research on Digital Writing, a field that has been important for the CSL since its origins.

  • Augmented Reality Program

It is a new research branch that investigates the effects of the convergence of the Web with objects and environments.

150 Digit is a project with which CSL (in collaboration with ANSAS (ex‐INDIRE), CIRMA, VRMP and Ministero dell'Istruzione Università e Ricerca), experiments the application of the generative communication model to the educational field, creating an online communication and training environment where the exhibitions of Esperienza Italia for the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Italian Unity can be compared with the everyday experiences of students and teachers.

Some researchers of the CSL have been working since 2009 with the Unicoop Tirreno’s Archivio Storico for the project of a blog, MemorieCooperative.it, dedicated to cultural discussion focused on memory and future.

AugmentedSport is a project linked to communication on and about sport, through a portal and several events (conferences, seminars, workshops).

In November 2012, CSL concluded a project,commissioned by Corecom Toscana, for the monitoring of the use that teenagers aged 11 to 18 make of mobile phones, from sms to social networks.


Educational Communication

Within theCl@ssi2.0 project (in collaboration with MIUR, ANSAS, USR and University) CSL is in charge of the monitoring of the transformation process that the learning environment experiences when technologies become part of educational practices.

  • IUL - Italian University Line

Il CSL contribuisce attivamente alla IUL.

Since 2006/2007CSL organizes courses on the LIM. The 2012-13 edition tackles also tablets, ebooks and mobiles.

The course aims at providing the necessary cognitive and analysis tools to take advantage of new technologies in order to improve one’s communication strategy.
