Barcelona Strategic Membership Meeting, November 2015

Membership Meetings

Registration  -- Accommodation -- Programme

The second euroCRIS Strategic Membership Meeting will be held from 9-11 November in Barcelona. This meeting will be organised in close collaboration with the Consorci de Serveis Universitair de Catalunya (CSUC) and the Institut d’Estudis Catalans (Institute for Catalan Studies, IEC). The last organisation is also the host for the meeting. 

Venue of the Meeting: Carrer del Carme, 47, 08001 Barcelona.. 

Welcome Reception: euroCRIS will offer you a welcome reception at the Meeting's venue, the beautiful Cloister of the IEC, starting Monday November 9th, at 19.00 h.

Strategic Members Meetings may be regarded as a combination of a Strategic Seminar and a regular Membership Meeting. During this meeting the accent is on use case-based discussions with both our Strategic Partners and Members.

So, the goals of the event are not only the exchange of information and ideas but more so, the exploration of possible concrete joint actions and projects towards the realisation of an improvement of the research information landscape, based on international standards. Of course, from the point of view of euroCRIS, the role CRIS and, in particular, CERIF can (and should) play in this respect will  be a major focus of attention.

The central theme for the 2015 Strategic Membership Meeting is:

International Collaboration on Research Information Management and CERIF

This theme, we think a very relevant one to both our  Strategic Partners and members, covers aspects as:  

  • Assessment of research
  • Grant application, workflow and monitoring
  • Profiling of researchers and institutes
  • Research data management and archiving
  • (the creation of) Research information infrastructures
  • Local /institutional developments
  • (inter-)National developments

During the Strategic Membership Meeting a mix of contributions/views by Strategic Partners and members will be presented. The emphasis of the contributions lies on discussion and interaction. These contributions may regard general, theoretical, aspects concerning the theme, but their main focus should be on practical use cases and requirements. Besides, space will be available for relevant presentations by Spanish stakeholders.

Poster sessions

During lunchtime posters will be presented,
