Research Information Systems: The Connections Enabling Collaboration

Date: Wednesday, August 16, 2017

Time: 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Eastern)

Many in the academic community have heard about research information
systems (RIS); these are increasingly sophisticated systems that
capture various data surrounding the funding, workflow, and final
output of the research process for purposes of analysis and
assessment. The next phase of development for RIS is to create a
network of researchers in the interest of building strategic research
initiatives and effective collaborations. This conference will look at
the vision for and the progress being made in various initiatives. How
might research information systems become more tightly integrated with
workflow applications? The data captured in an RIM or CRIS (Current
Research Information System) is significant and should drive increased
functionality and accruing value. The event will spotlight entities
that foster—through the development of resources or networks—the
ability of researchers to identify and connect with collaborators for
their work.
