  29. Financial Transparency

  30. Evaluation and Review of Research Results • Use of SICRIS system and its abstracts of research work • The most important scientific results • Socio-economic significance of research • Use of COBISS bibliographic system • Use of international citation indexes (ISI, CSA and other bibliographic databases

  31. SICRIS Information System

  32. About SICRIS Information System SICRIS = SlovenIan Current Research Information System  • developed and maintained by the Institute of Information Science (IZUM) and ARRS • Currently presented entities: 933 research organisations 1490 research groups 14247 researchers 5731 research projects 450 research programs • allows viewing of presentation pages of more than 500 European projects of the EU Framework Programmes directly from the Projects database within the CORDIS system • http://sicris.izum.si/default.aspx?lang=eng

  40. Additional activities realized by ARRS • Evaluation by ESF • ”Since its founding in 2004, the Slovenian Research • Agency (SRA) has been extremely effective in • establishing itself as a modern and efficient • funding agency comparable to well-established European • research councils and funding organisations with • much stronger heritage and current portfolios.” • International enforcement of ARRS • “Leading Agency” • Establishment of a common contract(from 4029 to 133 cotracts) • Electronic administration (2020 - 95% reports with digital signatures) • Effective supervision: € 320,000returnedwithin three years
