Neo News Today recently published an article on the involvement of Neo ecosystem members within the world of academia. These efforts are likened to Neo’s approach to technical development – a decentralized movement led by Neo leadership and executed through the autonomous actions of its communities.

Alongside outreach to institutions, members of these communities have also had numerous works included in various academic and technical publications operated by organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and the Majorov International Conference on Software Engineering and Computer Systems (MICSECS).

The below provides an overview of recently or soon to be published works by Neo developer communities.
