For researchers, engineers and students
Meet the right people. Keep them.
Scan the code at your next conference, seminar or department day. Your card builds itself from your work, you see who is worth meeting that day and why, and the people you meet stay in your network afterwards.
No app to install. No cold messages. Free for attendees, always.
Your posts never train AI.
How Ekimeet works
Four steps, from the badge on your lanyard to a network that lasts.
All the steps, for attendees and organizersJoin
Scan the badge, you're in
Sign in with your email, then add a passkey for next time. Connect ORCID or GitHub and your card fills itself in from your papers and projects. No app to install.
Match
Up to ten people a day, each with a reason
Suggestions from your work and what you came for. Tap Connect; when they do too, you're connected and can pick a break to meet. Nobody can message you uninvited.
Meet
Meet people the way that suits you
Every event has more than one way to meet people:
- Meeting slots in breaks: propose a time and a place to someone you both said yes to
- Lunch tables and walks: mixed tables, dinners and walking coffees
- Opt-in directory: only people who chose to be listed, 20 cards a page
- Your QR card: at the event, scan someone's code in a corridor and you're connected
- Announcements and channels, like #looking-for-team
- Teams for jams: roles balanced, first-timers paired with veterans
Keep
Your network outlives the event
Remember who you met and where, follow up on time, and see their new work and real opportunities.

What we promise
Written into our terms, not just our marketing.
Mutual opt-in only
Contact happens only when you both tap Connect.
No paid reach, no vanity scores
Nobody can buy visibility in your feed.
Real people, verified
A work or university email, or an established ORCID or GitHub account, before messaging any time.
Your data stays in Europe
Download your data or delete everything, in two taps.
Questions people ask first
Is it free?
Yes, for attendees, always. Nothing ranks higher because someone paid.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Scan the code on your badge and it opens in your phone's browser. You can add it to your home screen if you like.
Who can see my profile?
By default, people at events you joined, past ones included. You can widen or narrow it at any time, and your photo follows the same setting.
Can strangers message me?
No. A conversation opens only when you both say yes: a match, a card you showed or accepted, or a team, table or channel you chose to join.
What happens after the event?
The people you met stay in your network with a note of where you met. You get their new work and a digest you can switch off.
Can I take my data with me, or delete it?
Both, from your profile: download your data as one file, or delete your account and everything with it.
Running a conference, seminar or meetup?
Set it up in two minutes, put the QR code on badges, and see meetings happen. Free. Works alongside your existing event app.
