In this paper we illustrate the observational activity we carried out during the workshop and its results. In our opinion this work is helpful to get a synopsis both of the event, as the development and communicative exchange of academic con-tent, and the content itself. After introducing the criteria used for the design of an observation support tool, the observation grid, we present a list of words used to encircle the concept of model and the practice of modelling. This is followed by a list of metaphors employed in the processes of conceptualizing model and modelling, and of communicating research; finally, a list of explicit definitions is included. In the last paragraph we focus on an interesting experiment in visualizing the data extracted from each talk.
