About Parta Research
Open Beta · Last updated: February 2026
Parta Research is a professional networking platform designed for the research community. Think of it as the intersection of professional networking and modern discovery – swipe to find researchers, labs, and opportunities worldwide.
Our mission: Make research collaboration as easy as swiping right. Break down barriers between researchers, students, labs, institutions, and companies across 21 languages.
What Makes Us Different
- No account required: We use Parta Identity, a cryptographic system that lives on your device. No email, no password, no data to leak.
- Privacy by design: Delete the app = delete your identity. We can't recover it even if we wanted to. Your data, your control.
- Built for research: Not another LinkedIn clone. We focus on collaboration, opportunities, and real connections – not metrics and h-indexes.
- 21 languages: Science is global. Your networking tool should be too.
Who It's For
- Researchers: Find collaborators for papers, grants, and projects
- Students: Discover internships, PhD positions, and mentors
- Labs: Recruit team members and find partner labs
- Institutions: Post job openings and increase visibility
- Companies: Connect with academic researchers for R&D
- Independents: Showcase expertise and find projects
The Team
Parta Research is part of the Parta Apps ecosystem, developed by:
- æ Aeonian Engineering Limited – Hong Kong
- WIDE di D. Papa – Naples, Italy
We're a small team that believes academic networking has been broken for too long. ResearchGate is about papers. LinkedIn is about corporations. We're about people and opportunities.
Privacy Architecture
Parta Research is built with a privacy-first mindset:
- No email or phone number required
- Cryptographic identity stored only on your device
- Minimal data collection – only what's needed for the platform to work
- Self-service data deletion – instant and irreversible
- GDPR compliant by design
For details, see our Privacy Policy and Data Deletion page.
Age Requirement
Parta Research is intended for adults only (18+). It's a professional platform designed for research collaboration.
