CRIS 2010: Connecting Science with Society - The Role of Research Information in a Knowledge-Based Society

10th International Conference on Current Research Information Systems

 

June 2-5, 2010 at Aalborg, Denmark

 

Current Research Information Systems are at the intersection between (publicly funded) research and society. They do not only connect actors, activities and results within the research domain but also play a crucial role in raising awareness of the important questions of our society reflected in scientific research and of the answers produced by these research activities.

 

CRIS 2010 therefore seeked to highlight the role of Current Research Information Systems for communicating research outcomes to the relevant stakeholders in society. Researchers, research managers, policy makers and Chief Information Officers, to name just a few, are not the only groups which value the richness of research data a CRIS provides for planning, managing and evaluating research, for driving innovation or for disseminating results to the scientific community and beyond. And, as the conference papers and presentations tell, there are many more, often little known purposes for which CRIS are used. These applications stimulate with their demands the progress in designing, building and maintaining a CRIS - and their creative use. From establishing scientific systems at a national level to supporting researchers in their dialog with a ciritical and aware society.
