Business and Collective Intelligence Lab

About Us

Insights from the Collective Mind

Our lab, located within the Department of Civil, Computer Science and Aeronautical Technologies Engineering at Roma Tre University, is part of a global network of researchers committed to investigating the intricacies of business and human dynamics.

Our research is founded on the belief that everything is interconnected — people, information, and events. We employ Social Network Analysis and Text Mining, underpinned by Machine Learning, to unlock possibilities for developing business analytics, interpreting big data, and discovering emerging trends and behaviors.

We focus on supporting strategic decision-making through research specializing in brand management, organizational communication and behavior, and innovation management.
