Apps for universities
Everything your faculty knows, easy to find.
Giovanni Group builds apps that bring a faculty's people, research, education, news and events together in one place. Students, staff and visitors find what they need in seconds, and the information stays up to date.
Why we exist
A faculty is hundreds of people, dozens of research groups and labs, a long list of courses and a steady stream of news and events. Most of that information is spread over separate pages, spreadsheets and mailing lists. We bring it together in one well designed app that is pleasant to use and easy to keep current.
What we build
One app for the whole faculty
Every app is built for one institution and shaped around the way it works. These are the building blocks we combine.
Research groups and labs
Detailed overviews of every research group and lab, describing what they work on and what they offer, linked directly to the profiles of the researchers involved.
News
Your institution's own news feed, with updates and announcements in one place, so students and staff never miss what matters.
Interactive lecture notes
A clear overview of all interactive lecture notes within the faculty, so students quickly find the course material they need.
Events
PhD defences, workshops, seminars and other events, published by support staff and always up to date in the app and in widgets.
How events workCampus maps
Map overviews of the campus and the faculty's buildings, so students, new staff and visitors find the right building and room.
Events infrastructure
Every event in one place, and everywhere it needs to be
Besides the app itself, we build the database and infrastructure that lets support staff publish upcoming events within the faculty. They add an event once, and it appears in the app and in widgets on other pages.
- PhD defences
- Workshops and seminars
- Lectures, symposia and other faculty events
-
01
Support staff add an event
Through a simple form, without technical knowledge: date, location, description and who it is for.
-
02
It is stored in one database
A secure, central database that we build and maintain for your faculty.
-
03
It appears where people look
In the app, and as widgets that can be placed on the faculty website and other pages.
How we work
From a first conversation to an app that keeps running
-
01
Conversation
We start by listening: who will use the app, what information they need, and where that information lives today.
-
02
Connect your data
We connect to the systems and sources you already have, or set up a new database where that is needed.
-
03
Build and test
We build in short rounds and test with students and staff, so the result fits how your faculty actually works.
-
04
Launch and maintain
After launch we keep the app running, secure and up to date, and keep improving it together with you.
Who it's for
Made for academic institutions
We work with organisations that have many people, a lot of research and much to communicate.
- Faculties and departments
- Universities and universities of applied sciences
- Research institutes
- Graduate and doctoral schools
- Other knowledge institutions
