A little history

Withculture started as a small research team under the umbrella of National Technical University of Athens  (NTUA) and throughout the years and participation in various EU funded projects it has evolved into a new technology company that provides metadata ingestion, management and publication services for Museums, Galleries, Archives, Libraries, Performing Art Venues and other cultural organizations.

Over the course of time, a few trends started to emerge in our work  and we perceived a way to streamline existing workflows and demonstrate creative new uses for digital cultural heritage by introducing WITH, a single platform, delivering integrated applications that adapt to different users’ needs.
