HunCRIS

• Provides information on R&D projects in homogenized structure– The information is received from the project financing

organization– CERIF Common European Research Information Format

• Entities: Project, OrgUnit, Person• Relations: n-to-m type• List elements: fields of science and technology, Position, academic

title, role in the project, administrative structure• Bilingual: Hungarian (local official language) and English

• To uncover multiple financing• To indicate similar activities• To promote domestic and international cooperation


3

Research (project) information systems

• Project financing organizations

• Research organizations

• Project exploitation agencies

• Research registries (HunCRIS)


4


• Project financing organizations– Workflow: Workprogramme, call for proposals + model contract,

receiving proposals, evaluation, selection, contracting, control, financial procedures, final evaluation

– Partners: research organizations– Measure of quality: completeness (evident)– Problems:

• Finding evaluators competence and independence• Following transformation of OrgUnits (reorganization, spin-off)

during the project• Preventing multiple financing• Managing proposals and projects of consortiums• Identifying follow-up (result, publication, utilization)

• Research organizations• Project exploitation agencies• Research registries


5


• Project financing organizations• Research organizations

– Workflow: providing organizational data, registration of submitting proposals, registration of evaluation/selection results, contracting

– Partners: project financing organizations– Demand: completeness (evident (?))– Problems:

• Activities of researchers at other workplaces• Managing consortial partners and agreements

• Project exploitation agencies• Research registries


6


• Project financing organizations • Research organizations• Project exploitation agencies

– Workflow: collecting demand and offer information, auditing, partner search, assistance to research or technology transfer contract

– Partners: research organizations, entrepreneurs (SMEs)– Demand: highest added value– Problems:

• Data collection• Contacting and keeping in touch

• Research registries


7


• Project financing organizations• Research organizations• Project exploitation agencies• Research registries

– Workflow: data input, identification of entity uniqueness, formal homogenization, OrgUnit transformation at longer term

– Partners: project financing organizations– Demand: completeness, interoperability,

homogeneity, searchability from multiple aspects– Problem:

• Identification of project financing organizations, and getting their data


8

Creation of project informationCall for proposals

+ definition of eligibility+ offering model contract

Having eligible organization+ having research topics+ capacity (personnel)

Writing proposal+ Upload to financing organization+ Memo to research organization

Evaluation, selection, recommendations

Formal submission

Signing contract

Added value at HunCRIS

• Single access point to data of publicly financed projects

• Advanced - including semantic – search on accumulated data

• Developing bilingual thesaurus• Developing bilingual lists of controlled terms

– project positions– positions at organzation

• International visibility of Hungarian projects

How/When to cooperate with portals

• Business plan for sustainable operation – Creation in project– Operation in institutional frames– Contribution to operating costs

• CRIS/CERIF compatibility• Real-time access to or regular update from

HunCRIS (being current and not a snapshot)• Added value• Feedback on usage
