CRIS 2012: e-Infrastructures for Research and Innovation - Linking Information Systems to Improve Scientific Knowledge Production
11th International Conference on Current Research Information Systems
June 6-9, Prague, Czech Republic
The positive and causal link between research on one hand and wealth creation and improvement in the quality of life on the other is established. Questions may be asked concerning the quality of the research and the value for money. In order to answer these questions, and manage the associated processes, research information has become indispensable. It started as the simple administrative data on research projects, their funding and their lead participant. Over time, research information expanded to record many other aspects of research: results, funding, facilities, equipment, research-related services, impact. Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) are becoming the core of the information infrastructure of all organisations that have to do with research: those that perform it, fund it, or track it.
CRIS 2012 is the eleventh in the biennial series of conferences on CRIS organised since 2002 by euroCRIS. Between 1991 and 2000 a somewhat irregular CRIS conference series was run in an ad hoc manner with some support from the European Commission. CRIS 2012 has attracted a rather large number of submisisons that document well the current trends in all aspects of CRIS. The big challenge many authors approach from different angles is setting up meaningful and scalable links between CRIS and other information systems, and among CRIS themselves to provide an international overview of research. In this way, CRIS are becoming integral parts of research e-Infrastructures; the connected CRIS in fact form a very important e-Infrastructure themselves.
