Hi, I am Dario. I devoted the best part of my career to building programs and strategies to transform scientific collaboration and knowledge production through principles of openness. As a Science Program Officer with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, I led a portfolio of partnerships and philanthropic investments in open science and open source, funding software tools, platforms, and organizations that help scientists share data, knowledge, and resources openly and build on each other’s work. Prior to CZI, I served as the Head of Research at the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that operates Wikipedia and its sister projects.
My research focuses on the behavioral and social aspects of collaborative technology. I am broadly interested in online collaboration and peer production, and in the design of systems and programs to make open knowledge more discoverable and reusable.
