euroCRIS is pleased to welcome the German OSIRIS Solutions GmbH as a new general euroCRIS sponsor as of 1 January 2026. The OSIRIS open source CRIS solution is currently implemented at several research centres in Germany – such as the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH.
The event website for the 17th International Conference on Current Research Information Systems (CRIS2026) to be held May 20-22 at the University of the Azores is already available online. The CRIS2026 CfP with a Feb 7th deadline for submissions is included in the website. Several other sections are still under construction and will remain so until a preliminary programme is available.
Following the celebration of three successful online CERIF surgeries on Sep 25th, Oct 30th and Dec 4th, the participants in these sessions and their hosts – Board members Jan Dvořák and Dragan Ivanović, who lead the development of the refactored CERIF – have scheduled a 4th CERIF surgery to be held online at 2pm on Thu January 15th, 2026. As in previous sessions, an informal registration procedure will be applied whereby any euroCRIS member may email their expression of interest to eurocris [at] eurocris.org to receive the access details a couple of days before the session takes place.
The presentations delivered at the Autumn 2025 Strategic Membership Meeting held Nov 25-27 at the Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) have now been deposited in the euroCRIS repository and linked from the event programme.
