At most universities and research organisations information on scientific activities and achievements are collected, maintained and published in various forms: for the organisation as a whole, but also on the level of individual faculties, departments or research groups. This leads to a heterogeneous information landscape making it difficult to analyse and present research achievements and performance.

The Current Research Information System (CRIS) CONVERIS offers you Integrated Research Information Management. With CONVERIS you can collect, monitor and manage research activities and results while at the same time relieving researchers and administrative staff alike from time-consuming tasks.

• integrates and manages research information such as research projects, grants, publications, awards, patents, technology offers, integration in international networks as well as other data. It thus facilitates a structured overview on the institution’s research activities and results.

 

• supports grant application and project management. It provides comprehensive project information including information on cash flows that are retrieved from the finance systems as well as a consistent set of approval and validation processes.

• offers tailor made, quality-assured analyses on research performance, the scientific potential, networking and competences thus supporting internal strategy processes. Bibliometric analyses, publications and project reports, network visualizations and impact analyses are just a few examples.

• supports external reporting, marketing and public relations with data on planned, current and completed research activities and allows for publishing of selected information on existing web portals.

• enjoys wide acceptance amongst researchers and administration by considerably reducing administrative burden and offering additional benefits such as creating a CV directly in the system.
