Contemporary information, knowledge and scientific results acquiring, developing and sharing are at the crossroads. New generation Internet and networking technology are not only media and measures for successful information and knowledge sharing, but also a platform for new generation knowledge building, further networking and opening new areas for research and development. Todays and future scholars and students are expected to be experts not only in their own scientific area. In order to ensure an appropriate, timely and targeted communication, they need to act also as networkers and science developers in a new and ever changing environment. Network is the most appropriate channel, resource, model and technology, offering the growing knowledge development potential.

Chapter Summaries
The paper begins by outlining the increasing significance of knowledge in a post-transitional world, highlighting the shift from material resources to knowledge as the key driving force. It then explores the role of networks in facilitating information sharing, communication, and knowledge development, specifically referencing the rise of the Internet and its impact on scientific progress. The paper acknowledges the potential downsides of network-based knowledge sharing, such as shallowness and the spread of misinformation, but argues that these challenges can be overcome by prioritizing accuracy, reliability, and the use of verified data.
The chapter on "Science Importance" delves into the evolution of resource priorities, illustrating how land was paramount in the agricultural age, capital in the industrial age, and knowledge in the contemporary era. The chapter discusses the need for a critical approach to online information and knowledge resources, emphasizing the importance of evaluating information sources and ensuring their reliability.
