Technologies, digital tools and strategies for research, universities and cultural institutions

Technological development for universities, research and culture

We work alongside universities, research institutions and cultural organisations in designing reliable and scalable digital solutions, built to enhance content, data and research outputs while respecting academic contexts and scientific practices. We develop web platforms and advanced architectures for museums, research centres and university institutes, tools for the Digital Humanities — from the semantic web to digital critical editions, from IIIF image management to semantic annotation and XML-TEI publishing — and Knowledge Graph and AI systems for data analysis.

We also build scientific editorial portals, interactive dashboards, advanced multilingual and multidisciplinary search engines, and Citizen Science platforms.

Inclusive design and communication for culture and science

We design interfaces, visual systems and narratives capable of making complex content understandable to diverse audiences: researchers, students, visitors, scientific communities and international stakeholders.

From user research to UX/UI for academic and cultural platforms, from institutional visual identity to storytelling and editorial graphics, through to integrated communication campaigns for events, exhibitions and scientific projects: every project begins with listening and is built around the people who will use it.

We help shape culture and research, making them accessible, comprehensible and recognisable.

AI and smart tools for research and culture

We bring artificial intelligence to cultural and academic projects through solutions already operational in museums, universities and research centres.
We develop:

Chatbots and virtual assistants for culture and research
AI for text analysis, NLP, data extraction and automation
Open-source LLMs specialised for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH)
Algorithms for semantic reconciliation and automatic classification

 

Technology that deepens expertise, accelerates research and makes knowledge accessible.

soluzioni digitali per la ricerca

European projects and research networks

We support universities, research centres and scientific networks in the development and management of European projects. Our experience spans from participation in and coordination of project proposals — Horizon Europe, DARIAH, OPERAS, TRIPLE — to the delivery of interoperable digital infrastructures, Digital Humanities platforms and scientific communication services. We work alongside academic partners at every stage: from defining the project logic and work packages, to producing digital deliverables, through to the communication and dissemination of results.
Expertise in AI applied to research, semantic cataloguing, data visualisation and interoperable digital ecosystems helps teams build projects with visibility and sustainability beyond national borders.

Research and Academia

Why choose Net7

For over 25 years we have worked with Italian and European universities, museums and research centres — including CNR, Scuola Normale Superiore, New York University, Sapienza and CNRS.
We have learnt that cultural and academic projects work when humanities research, design, technology and communication are in the room together from the start. In our team, diverse expertise — semantic web, AI, UX/UI, Digital Humanities, editorial graphics — converges on every project around a shared methodology: listening, co-design and human-centred design.

Our presence across the leading European programmes — Horizon Europe, DARIAH, OPERAS, CLARIN, E-RIHS, EOSC — means we are at home in complex, international contexts.
