euroCRIS itself

1. Has achieved much – credibility – membership,. Member meetings, task groups, seminar, conference, website2. Much to do – operating DRIS, clear best practice guidelines, CERIF mapping advice/assistance, more push on technoplogy3. Finances OK but not wonderful – limits what we can do4. Board – some key retirements end 2012 – plan5. Can we get more younger people involved through the TGs and thence to board?

euroCRIS community

• 1. Membership increasing• 2. More in-depth and technical interest• 3. More installations• 4. More mandating of CERIF (or de facto

acceptance)• 5. Commercial companies and more joining

(Firmstep/Searchfish)• 6. CRIS2012 – more submissions, quality

higher than previous

Strategic partners

• In past ICSU/CODATA Data Science Journal (after Kiev conference)• Document with ALLEA and EARMA on researcher access / obstacles• EARMA Dublin July?• INORMS (International Network of Research Managment Societies)

– Copenhagen may• CASRAI – detailed mapping to CERIF on-going to resolve• VIVO – related to LOD• LATTES?• Our friends in Iran and other places – India, China, Australasia• Can we leverage ERCIM strongly for technical IT?• JISC – UK projects and push for mandating CERIF; CERIF position at

UKOLN, Bath• Next strategic seminar – Horizon 2020 (need proposal for board on the

structure and topics and possible speakers)

Recahing and embracing (enfolding?) new areas

• CERIF-LOD (VOA3R)• CERIF-eGov (ENGAGE)• CERIF-IR (May workshop series in Rome)

Projects

• UK projects (about 12 of them) – all aspects of CERIF; CERIF-XML; mapping/interoperation, outputs,outcomes,impact; CERIF ontologies; CERIF for datasets;

• ENGAGE: semantic web/LOD linkage and to the whole PSI/e-gov scene

• EuroRIs-Net+: CERIF mapping for research infrastructures at multiple national level; (related to MERIL at ESF)

• OpenAIREPlus – related to repository / digital library community• PERICLES (proposal) to build the euroCRIS network and support it• PRODROME (proposal) beyond ENGAGE for research datasets etc –

seamless transition e-gov/PSI to research data

Ambition

• Stronger EC support for euroCRIS (special grant beyond individual projects)

• EC-NSF links (can we be the ones to speak to NSF, NIH etc on behalf of the EC for research management?)

•
