NET7 SRL

Their core work

NET7 is a Pisa-based software company that builds digital platforms and tools for research discovery, multilingual content access, and collaborative science. Their core competence lies in developing web-based platforms that connect researchers, data, and communities — from multilingual discovery tools (TRIPLE/EOSC) to citizen science engagement platforms (COESO). They contribute technical development capacity to EU research consortia, translating scientific requirements into functional digital infrastructure.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

NET7's early H2020 involvement (2015-2018) was broader and less focused, contributing as a third party to projects on Middle East science diplomacy (MERID) and plant disease management (XF-ACTORS). From 2019 onward, they sharpened their profile around digital research infrastructure — building discovery platforms, open science tools, and EOSC-connected services (TRIPLE, COESO). The shift from third-party support roles to direct participant with significant funding signals growing confidence and recognition in the research infrastructure space.

NET7 is moving firmly toward research infrastructure and open science platforms, positioning itself as a go-to software partner for EOSC-aligned and SSH digitalization projects.

How they like to work

NET7 has never coordinated an H2020 project, operating instead as a technical contributor — first as a third party (2 projects), then graduating to full participant status (2 projects). With 80 unique partners across 27 countries from just 4 projects, they integrate into large, diverse consortia rather than leading small teams. This suggests they are a trusted software development partner that others invite when they need platform-building expertise.

Despite only 4 projects, NET7 has connected with 80 distinct partners across 27 countries, reflecting involvement in large pan-European consortia. Their network spans well beyond Italy, with no single geographic cluster dominating.

What sets them apart

NET7 occupies a niche as a small Italian software company that can translate complex research requirements into working digital platforms — particularly for social sciences, humanities, and open science communities. Unlike larger IT firms, they bring domain awareness of the EOSC ecosystem and multilingual research workflows. For consortium builders needing a nimble tech partner who understands both the research context and the software engineering, NET7 fills a gap that pure tech companies or pure research organizations cannot.

Highlights from their portfolio

• TRIPLE
  Their largest funded project (EUR 593K), building a multilingual discovery platform for social sciences connected to EOSC — represents their core digital infrastructure expertise.
• XF-ACTORS
  A 5-year multidisciplinary effort against Xylella fastidiosa, one of Europe's most damaging plant pathogens — shows NET7's ability to contribute tech solutions in agricultural biosecurity.
