- Fabrizio Nestola (Padova) for providing the financial support that enabled the EosFit7 project to be started.
- Daria Pasqual (Padova) for developing the program graphics and icons, and the website.
- Frank Spear (RPI) and Kyle Ashley (Austin, Texas) for testing and feedback on host-inclusion calculations.
- Andrea D’Alpaos and Mario Putti (Padova) for advice on least-squares minimisation.
- Herbert Kroll and Peter Schmid-Beurmann (Muenster) for advice on thermal expansion and thermal pressure, on scale factors, and for independent validation of several parts of the software suite.
- Malcolm McMahon (Edinburgh) for help with, and testing, the APL EoS.
- Mara Murri, Mattia Bonazzi, Giulia Mingardi, Anna Barbaro and Gabriele Zaffiro (Pavia) for extensive testing of the programs and installers.
