Two People Smiling
Education & Research.

Partnering with universities to shape the future of responsible AI.

We collaborate with leading universities and research institutes to turn cutting-edge AI into real-world impact.
From joint pilots and labs to curriculum co-creation and open datasets — we help academia translate research into trustworthy solutions for society and the economy.

  • Co-develop applied AI pilots with public and private partners.
  • Embed ethics, safety, and governance into the full AI lifecycle.
  • Create open, reproducible assets: datasets, code, and benchmarks.

Collaboration models

Choose the model that fits your institute’s goals and timeline.

1) Joint Pilot

Rapidly validate a use-case with a 6–12 week pilot:
• scoped problem & success metrics
• small, multidisciplinary team (faculty + OpenCounting)
• demo and blueprint for scale-up

2) Research & Joint Lab

Establish an applied AI lab or thematic cluster:
• shared roadmap & governance
• co-supervised PhDs / postdocs
• open datasets & reference implementations

3) Curriculum & Capacity

Build practical AI capacity:
• course modules & capstone briefs
• executive workshops for deans & TTOs
• governance, risk & compliance toolkits

Why partner with OpenCounting?

  • EU-aligned ethics & safety (GDPR, AI Act readiness).
  • Bridges between research, public sector, and industry.
  • Open and reproducible artifacts (code, data, docs).
  • Hands-on engineering to ship real prototypes.

We co-design projects that advance scholarship and deliver public value.
If your faculty or center is exploring responsible AI for health, energy, finance, mobility, or public administration, we can help align research with deployable, ethical solutions.

Faculty & PIs

Looking to translate your research into a pilot or secure applied partners for a grant? Let’s scope a project together.

Research Labs & Centers

Co-create a joint lab, share infrastructure, and build open reference projects that connect academia and society.

Tech Transfer & TTOs

Validate use-cases with real stakeholders, de-risk deployment, and build ethical, compliant paths to adoption.
