Accessibility and WCAG Compliance in Higher Education
No full text12 slides.-- Presentation provides background for demos by Michał Olczyk on "Manual annotation of PDF documents: why is it important and how difficult it is" and by Antoni Marek on "WCAG AI: making PDF documents accessible using Artificial Intelligence".-- Link to session recording available at https://eurocris.org/newsEvent webpage available at https://live.sages.pl/eurocris-webinarThe presentation addresses the issue of web accessibility and WCAG compliance both for web pages and for documents. It is argued that the process to ensure accessibility of web pages or systems is simpler as a rule than the same objective for documents with a wide range of formats, creators and provenances. The Polish Platform of Medical Research (PPM) is shown as an example repository. A demo is provided for the largely automated AI-mediated routine to comply with the WCAG based on the "WCAG AI: Artificial Intelligence in the task of making documents accessible" research project co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under the Intelligent Development Operational Programme
An Updated Snapshot of the CRIS Landscape
No full text27 slides.-- Presentation delivered by euroCRIS President Jan Dvořák at the EARMA Annual Conference 2023 in PragueThe Current Research Information System (CRIS) landscape is becoming increasingly complex. In the early days, CRIS systems were often seen as institutional assets, but by gradually realising the many benefits CRIS systems bring to the Research Management and Administration community for organising and supporting research in a more efficient manner, numerous stakeholders have now adopted more region-wide approaches to CRIS system operation. In fact, research information management practice often follows national frameworks, which in turn leads to the emergence of country-specific CRIS vendors and solutions. While it is still possible to provide a generic overview of the system solutions available, any international CRIS landscape description will often need to be fine-tuned for a specific geographic area. This trend may be even more acute in the area of research management and administration.In February 2021 euroCRIS and EARMA organised a joint event on the overlap between research information management (RIM) and research management and administration (RMA). The former is the 'natural playground' for CRIS systems, but as discussed back then, RIM and RMA are actually a continuum in the research lifecycle and system solutions often cover areas from both domains
Beyond the traditional CRIS - Approach and use cases
No full text20 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the Business sessionThe presentation introduces Polaris OS, an innovative open source solution for research information management. In all its different forms, it is used to store, manage and showcase contextual metadata for research activities. Polaris OS manages entities such as people, organisations, projects, research outputs, grants, contracts… and all the links between them
An update on the CRISCROS WG activity
No full text7 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the session "An update on the CRISCROS WG"Slides delivered as a short intro to the Spring 2023 Membership Meeting Brussels session devoted to the activity of the CRISCROS working group. The group, formerly known as the euroCRIS Working Group on National and Regional Research Portals and jointly managed by euroCRIS and the Austrian RIS Synergy project team, constitutes a forum for exchanging ideas, sharing experiences and presenting lessons learned and best practices in the domain of national and regional CRIS systems. The presentation describes the current WG membership, its recent activities since its kick-off meeting on Feb 1st, 2023 and its forthcoming events
Navigating Open Science with the support of a CRIS/RIMS
No full text23 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the Business session.-- Includes extended abstract submitted to the eventThe presentation explores the growth of open science and considers its implications for research management and library professionals. The role of research information management systems (CRIS/RIMS) such as Elsevier’s Pure is specifically explored by looking into how CRIS/RIMS may help these professionals respond to the opportunities and challenges in the domain.

FRIS: Exploring and introducing the CERIF-object Research Infrastructures and its golden record-view
No full text27 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the "National session (II)" .-- Includes extended abstract submitted to the eventThis contribution gives an overview of the newly added entity “Research Infrastructures” in FRIS, the regional CRIS of Flanders. With this contribution we want to share the process and model we used to capture the metadata. Furthermore we will focus on the visualization of the golden record for research infrastructures: agreements with stakeholders and final view
Open Science in Flanders
No full text17 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the "National session (I)"The presentation provides an overview of the evolution of Open Science in Flanders, addressing its underpinning policies, coordination mechanisms across institutions involved in its implementation, associated infrastructure (such as the FRIS regional CRIS) and monitoring framework, which includes a set of key performance indicators. The adoption of Open Science, strongly supported by the Flemish government, takes place in the context of wider European initiatives such as the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)
How to collect and manage data in data-driven evaluation processes
No full text49 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the session "Contributions from euroCRIS members (I)"The presentation looks into how institutional CRIS systems like Omega-PSIR at the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT/PW) can best support the various assessment processes conducted in Poland. These include the evaluation of scientific activity performed every 4 years by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the employee evaluation performed every 2 years and continuously by universities and the accreditation of teaching programmes performed by the National Accreditation Office. The workflows, data collection processes and issues around these evaluation frameworks are described from an institutional CRIS perspective
Information technology systems that support science and higher education RAD-on: Reports, analyses, data
No full text93 pages.-- English version of the RAD-on system booklet originally published in Polish.-- Translator: Michał TomaszewskiThe RAD-on portal forms an integral component of an IT system that presents reports, analyses, and data on science and higher education in Poland. RAD-on was developed by the National Information Processing Institute (OPI PIB) in collaboration with the Polish Ministry of Education and Science as part of the Integrated Network of Information on Science and Higher Education project.In terms of the data it collects and shares, RAD-on is currently the largest national IT system in science and higher education in Europe. It stores information on nearly all scientific institutions in Poland, as well as their scientists. This includes academic teachers and other individuals who conduct classes at higher education institutions. RAD-on also offers comprehensive lists of scholarly publications, national and international patents, research projects funded by various sources, and institutional investments. It contains extensive information on students, graduates, and on tertiary education programmes, including fields of study, foreign students, PhD students, and study formats
Close the gap
No full text9 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the Business session.-- Includes extended abstract submitted to the eventThe importance of research information systems is growing -- worldwide. More and more software manufacturers are scenting the big business. More and more institutions are going "live". In addition to meeting the ministerial reporting needs, the external presentation of research activities and research results is often a major goal for research institutions. However, many points fall by the wayside with standard mode go-lives. A research information system only creates added value and a competitive advantage for researchers and institutions when:• it is fully integrated into the (strategic) processes• the data in the FIS is of an appropriate quality• data flows are fully automated• the external presentation of research services focuses on the institution itself and not on the product behind it• it has the necessary acceptance and usage rate within the institution
