  1. Research Information in The Netherlands Marc Dupuis, eResearch Programme Manager, SURFfoundation

  2. Agenda • The present CRIS landscape • The needfor a new CRIS • The role of SURF andSURFfoundation • The process of collectingdemandsandrequirements • Selecting a new system • Vision for the future • Where are we now? Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  3. The present CRIS landscape • The METIS system was developed by the Radboud University Nijmegen, starting in 1992 • Usage • All 14 research universities • Several research institutes at the Royal Academy of Sciences (KNAW) • 1 institute at Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) • Cost • Licence ca. €26k p.a. Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  4. METIS landscape anno 2009 Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  5. The need for a new CRIS • In 2008 the universities started expressing the need for a new CRIS • METIS was not completely up-to-date and had several functional and technical restrictions • SURF was asked to coordinate the activities whose initial aim was to explore the market and compare METIS with commercial vendor systems Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  6. SURF is a partnership between all Dutch institutions for higher education & research 42 Universities of applied sciences Collaboration = Success factor! 14 Universities National Library Smallerinstitutions ofhigher education Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) CommercialR&D institutes Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) Dutch Organisation for Applied ScientificResearch (TNO),Telematics Institute Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  7. Research universities, universities of applied sciences, and research institutions work together in SURF in order to: improve the quality of research and education by: creating pioneering ICT innovations. SURF: ICT innovation by and for higher education and research For more than twenty years, collaboration within SURF has led to products and services that the participating institutions could not have achieved on their own. Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  8. A brief overview of the process (2009-2010) • 2009 • CRIS lab • Quickscan METIS architecture • Comparison of COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) available products • Interface landscape study of METIS • Quickscan for feasibility of demand aggregation • 2010 • Schedule of Requirements • Assembly of Specifications and Conditions for EU tender • Publication of Specifications and Conditions • Appr. 25 HEIs signed up for the new CRIS • 13 research universities, 6 university medical centres, 6 universities of applied science, and a few more Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  9. Aggregation of demands and requirements Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  10. Key points for a national CRIS approach • Recommendations and outcomes of studies: • Lean and Mean Core-system providing: • Input and registration • Functional management • API’s • Standard interface for in- and output, e.g. • Business intelligence and reporting • Repositories • Optional Functionality in Modules • workflow • ‘my CRIS’ • Optional Multitenant implementation • Additional constraints • CRIS-functionality (registration) separate from repository-functionality (archival) • Reporting functionality for Standard Evaluation Protocol (SEP) part of Core-system • CERIF-compliant Marc Dupuis euroCRIS 12 September 2011

  11. Role of a CRIS • Unique collection of relations between input and output • Joins information from HRM, IR, Bibliographic sources, • Joins information from local and national services(e.g. Digital Author Identifier) • Persons, Projects, Organisations, Research Output • Data source for business intelligence • Research Assessment and Evaluation • Actual analysis through specialised BI tools (e.g. Business Objects) • Data source for end-user services (single entry) • Personal websites • Publication lists (PubConnect gadget) • Aggregation of local Research Information in Netherlands Research Database (NOD) and web portal (NARCIS) • Not necessarily an end-user service Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  12. Where are we now? • September 2011 • Assessments of Offerings • December 2011 ??? • Grant • 2012 • 3 pilot implementations • 2012-2013 • All other implementations Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  13. Towards a Modernisation of Current Research Information Infrastructure Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  14. Future for CRIS in the Research Informationinfrastructure • Complete the modernisation • Implementrolebased accesse.g. toenableVREs • Connect the CRIS toenhancedpublicationsandotheroutputs • Support Open Access andOpen Data Marc Dupuis @ euroCRIS

  15. Relevance and impact of the CRIS programme • At the executive level in the HEIs the new CRIS is regarded as the most important eResearch development • In fact, the CRIS programme is the first community cloud initiative within Dutch higher education • Thus the impact of the CRIS programme is strong: if it fails, can other community cloud projects be successful?
