Academic research
Physualize is a powerful learning tool, based on scientific research.
Its first experimentations were carried out by the Laboratory of Communication of Physical Sciences of the University of Trento.
In collaboration with the physics and mathematics departments of several universities, we continue to explore the educational horizons of Physualize, publishing the results in major international scientific journals in the field and presenting the results at Physics and Science Education conferences.
Since the 2024/2025 academic year, we have co-funded an industrial doctoral scholarship at the Department of Physics of the University of Trento.
