NOMOTIKA SRL

Their core work

NOMOTIKA SRL is a small Italian legal-technology consultancy based in Rivoli that specialises in the legal and regulatory dimensions of digital technologies — particularly ICT law, privacy regulation, and the rights frameworks governing connected and data-driven systems. Their work sits at the intersection of law and computer science: they contribute legal expertise to interdisciplinary research consortia studying how existing and emerging legislation applies to IoT ecosystems, eHealth platforms, algorithmic decision-making, and digital commerce. Rather than building technology themselves, they provide the legal intelligence that helps research teams and technology developers understand compliance, rights, and governance obligations. Their participation in MSCA doctoral training networks suggests they also engage in knowledge transfer and training alongside applied research.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

NOMOTIKA's first H2020 engagement (MIREL, 2016–2019) was methodological — focused on the computational challenge of automatically processing and reasoning over legal texts, a field at the boundary of NLP and legal theory. Their second project (LAST-JD-RIoE, 2019–2023) marks a clear pivot from method to substance: the keywords shift entirely toward the legal rights, ethical norms, and regulatory questions raised by IoT, big data, and AI-driven platforms. This trajectory suggests the organisation moved from building tools for legal analysis toward applying legal expertise to the governance challenges that emerged as IoT and algorithmic systems became mainstream regulatory concerns.

NOMOTIKA is moving from computational legal informatics toward substantive digital rights law — making them an increasingly relevant partner for any consortium dealing with AI regulation, IoT governance, GDPR compliance, or the ethical dimensions of data-intensive systems.

How they like to work

NOMOTIKA has never held a coordinator role — they consistently join as participant or partner, acting as a specialist contributor within larger research consortia. Their presence in MSCA schemes (RISE and ITN) indicates comfort operating inside complex, multi-country networks built around researcher mobility and training rather than technology development. With 35 unique partners from just 2 projects, they are plugged into dense consortium structures, suggesting they are valued as a niche legal expert that broader tech-led teams bring in to cover regulatory and rights dimensions.

NOMOTIKA has engaged with 35 unique consortium partners across 16 countries through just two projects — an unusually high density that reflects the large, internationally distributed nature of MSCA doctoral networks. Their network is European in composition, consistent with the MSCA programme's focus on intra-EU and associated-country researcher mobility.

What sets them apart

NOMOTIKA occupies a rare niche as a private Italian SME bringing ICT law and digital rights expertise into academic MSCA research consortia — a role typically filled by universities or public research institutes. Their value to consortium builders is precisely that they are a practitioner organisation: they translate legal compliance and regulatory risk into terms that technology developers and scientists can act on. For any project touching IoT data governance, AI accountability, eHealth regulation, or cross-border digital rights under EU law, they offer the private-sector legal perspective that purely academic partners cannot.

Highlights from their portfolio

• LAST-JD-RIoE
  A Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral training network on the legal rights of the Internet of Everything — one of the few MSCA projects explicitly integrating law, bioethics, and IoT governance into a joint doctorate programme.
• MIREL
  An early and specialised project on automated mining and reasoning over legal texts, placing NOMOTIKA at the frontier of computational legal informatics before the field became mainstream.
