Three characters on the .org in the X-for-Y shape. R4T reads as research for treatment, resources for teachers, or rights for tenants. Resources for teachers is a substantial category. Teaching materials, lesson planning, and professional development are served by a mix of nonprofits, unions, and public bodies, and the naming convention here would be immediately legible to all … [Read more...] about r4t.org

colloquia.net
A colloquium is an academic seminar, and colloquia is the plural. It's standing vocabulary in every university department, used for the regular talks that hold a research community together. The plural form is the right one for a platform. It names a series rather than an event, which suits a listings site, a scheduling tool for departments, a recorded talks archive, or a … [Read more...] about colloquia.net
l2i.org
Three characters on the .org, X-to-Y. L2I reads as learning to impact, lab to industry, or local to international. Lab to industry is the technology transfer problem: getting research out of universities and into products. Every research institution has an office dedicated to it, there's a professional field around it, and the organisations working on it are overwhelmingly … [Read more...] about l2i.org
pollingmedia.com
Polling and media are permanently entangled. News organisations commission polls, poll results become news, and the coverage of polling has become a genre of its own with its own audience. Pollingmedia.com sits at that intersection. It fits a polling firm's media arm, an aggregator, a publication covering surveys and public opinion, a media research company measuring … [Read more...] about pollingmedia.com
technography.org
Technography is a real term in the social sciences: the study of technology in use, the way ethnography studies people. It asks what a tool actually does in the hands of the people using it rather than what it was designed to do. That's an increasingly relevant discipline. As technology assessment becomes a policy concern rather than an academic one, the research methods for … [Read more...] about technography.org
i3p.org
Three characters on the .org in the letter-digit-letter shape, which reads cleanly and types fast. I3P has no single entrenched meaning, leaving it open for an organisation to claim. Institute, innovation, or information on the I; partnership, programme, platform, or policy on the P. Those are the most common words in institutional naming, which makes this a natural fit for a … [Read more...] about i3p.org
techresearch.net
Tech research is what analyst firms sell, what corporate strategy teams consume, and what investors pay large sums for. The phrase is short, plain, and universally understood in the industry. The name fits an independent analyst practice, a research publication, a data product, or a comparison and evaluation service. Independent is the key word: the established analyst houses … [Read more...] about techresearch.net
zeitgeistmarket.com
Zeitgeist is one of the most useful loanwords in English. It means the spirit of the time, the mood that everything is happening inside, and there's no English equivalent that does the job. Pairing it with market gives you a name for the business of reading culture commercially. Trend forecasting, cultural strategy, consumer insight, and the whole industry of telling brands … [Read more...] about zeitgeistmarket.com
n2r.org
Three characters on the .org, X-to-Y. N2R reads as need to resource, node to registry, or nature to recovery. Nature to recovery is close to the exact language of ecological restoration, a field with substantial and growing funding as governments commit to restoration targets. Organisations in that space are almost entirely .org, and a short name that encodes the direction of … [Read more...] about n2r.org
technologyresearch.org
Technology research is what universities, corporate labs, national institutes, and independent think tanks all do. The phrase is the plainest possible description of an enormous global activity. On the .org it reads as an institute rather than a vendor, which is the right signal for a research organisation, a funding body, a standards group, or a publication. That distinction … [Read more...] about technologyresearch.org
