About us
Elumity is made for you
From building contextual knowledge to sharing knowledge objects and improving academic productivity.
We're a dedicated start-up driven by the belief that academic users should play a direct role in shaping the software they rely on. Born at the University of Bern, our mission is to create solutions that make a meaningful difference in the lives of students, researchers, and professionals. We understand the unique challenges academics face, from building knowledge and collaborating with peers to improving productivity. With a user-centered approach, we’re constantly working to provide the tools and resources you need to succeed. At Elumity, we’re not just building a platform; we’re fostering a community of learners and innovators, empowering them every step of the way in their academic journey.
First, our beliefs
We believe that building knowledge is deeply personal and requires a home to grow - a space free from the overwhelming noise of digital information. We know that forgetting is part of being human. We must relearn and refresh what we’ve learned. In today’s world, we increasingly offload information from our brains to our devices, often at the expense of deeper understanding. We believe academic and professional knowledge should be built systematically, piece by piece, like a jigsaw puzzle. This approach not only helps identify and close knowledge gaps but also ensures that new insights are placed in context with what we already know. Context is the glue that helps information stick, far better than repeatedly looking it up online. We also believe in breaking silos. Sharing and collaborating on knowledge objects -working together, discussing findings, and updating each other - creates a new kind of knowledge for our specialties. This collective effort can build something akin to a dynamic, living textbook.
Now, our premise
