An online dissemination session on "Open Science and Digital Platforms" will be delivered by the euroCRIS Technical Secretary on Aug 20th within the 4th International Symposium organised by the Vice Rectorate for Research at the Jorge Basadre Grohmann University in Tacna (Peru). The presentation will be streamlined and the slides will eventually be made available on the euroCRIS repository.
The programme for the Expert Finder Systems Forum 2025 has already been made available. As announced in a previous news piece, the event will be held online next Sep 16-18. Early bird registration for the event remains available until Aug 15th.
An accepted manuscript in the Scottish Journal of Open Research (SJOR) has been made available on the euroCRIS repository. The article, to be released by the journal later this year, summarises the round table on research instruments and facilities that was held at the euroCRIS membership meeting in Paris in Nov last year. The panel discussion brought together representatives from various European national and regional CRIS, including Research.fi in Finland, NVA in Norway, CroRIS in Croatia and FRIS in Flanders, to discuss their approach to collecting information on equipment and facilities in their systems.
A Spanish-language webinar on Research Information Management Systems (CRIS) was held on 30 July 2025 by Biteca S.A.S. in Colombia. The main speaker Joel Torres delivered a 1-hr-long introduction to the architecture and the value of CRIS systems for research-performing organisations. The recording for the session is available on YouTube.
