Strategic Partners

Strategic Partnerships of euroCRIS are formalized agreements of cooperation with organizations (applicably called “Strategic Partners”) on a national or international scale, whose work or mission is related to the field of research information in general or research information systems in particular. The general aim of these partnerships is the optimization of research information availability, supply and use(ability) on an international scale as well as the gathering and sharing of knowledge and experience related to research information. The agreement of cooperation with each of the Strategic Partners is worked out in a jointly formulated and signed Memorandum of Understanding in which the common goals as well as the division of tasks between the two organizations are concretely formulated.

Up to now, euroCRIS has a Strategic Partnership with the following organizations (in alphabetical order):
