Münster University chooses CONVERIS
The Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (WWU) is currently implementing a CONVERIS-based CRIS.
As one of Germany’s largest universities, WWU needs a comprehensive research information system in which researchers can collect and present information on all their scientific activities and results. Moreover, CONVERIS enables the university administration and management to analyse the ongoing research activities on a more aggregated level and from various perspectives.
In CONVERIS, all WWU-researchers will be able to compile information on their research projects, publications and a row of further types of research information. CONVERIS will not only enable them to present selected parts of their profile via the internet, but even to utilise it for CVs, reports and analyses as well as in funding applications and other contexts.
The university management will through CONVERIS gain a better overview of all the university’s ongoing research activities and will be able to produce tailor-made analyses and reports and present the university’s strengths. With CONVERIS, the university can answer questions like “Which are our strongest research areas, seen to the number of projects and the amount of funding?”, “Who are our main collaboration partners in and outside Germany?” or “Which are our top researchers in a certain research area?” – questions that are crucial for defining and aligning the university’s strategy seen to future research profiles, collaborations and marketing.
In order to provide the best possible data quality and to minimise the workload for manual data collection and administration, CONVERIS is integrated with a row of internal as well as external information sources, provided by e.g. the European Commission, Web of Science and PubMed or the European Patent Office.
