Current Projects

Alexandria is a part of the THESEUS project directed towards the end users of the internet. Named after the antique library of Alexandria, it follows the vision of a knowledge platform on the internet. It will assist users in the publishing, developing and search for content by providing them with tools and making the use of the application as simple and intuitive as possible. more

The main objective of the project WeKnowIt is to develop novel techniques for exploiting multiple layers of intelligence from user-contributed content, which together constitute Collective Intelligence, a form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition among many individuals, and that seemingly has a mind of its own. more
