The following is a slightly modified google-translate of the original article in Italian by Roberta De Carolis and published by http://www.nextme.it/.
Cold fusion generates heated debates and discussions, but the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project (MFMP) was officially nominated for the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2014. Rather, they were nominated for the working group which also includes the Italian Francesco Celani, for years engaged in the construction of a LENR device.
"I am pleased to inform you that next Saturday, June 28, 2014, starting at 09:00 am, will be held in Assisi, the City hall, a Scientific Meeting [...]" - announced in an e-mail the researcher of - "in which there will also be information dissemination, by Prof. Francesco Bindella, a candidate for the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2014 for the group's work and MFMP for the writer."
The nomination for the prestigious award was sought and obtained by the method 'Live Open Science', based on "open" and visible research. "Experiments in Europe and the U.S., are conducted under the watchful eye of several cameras and networked in real time," explains Claudio Pace, who organized the event.
A topic such as cold fusion, on the other hand, for decades puzzling with the confidentiality in which the tests were carried out and the devices realized, first of all the E-Cat of Andrea Rossi, covered by secrecy almost always. But this was also the subject of direct accusations against the R5 device by the same CEO of Defkalion Europe Franco Cappiello.
Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project aims to counter this, attempting to create collaboration between the scientific community, as well as an engine for development of a new energy source with low environmental impact. The expectations of the working group methodology allow observers, even those tens of thousands of miles away, to assess the quality of the experiment, and especially, to provide any suggestions and/or criticisms in real time.

Besides, even UNESCO has spoken officially about promoting Open Access, the online availability of scientific information to all, free of most copyright licenses and barriers, for the benefit of a global flow of knowledge, innovation and socio-economic development. Also, other areas appear to move in this direction.
