Why we want to change it ?

• 1 . Augmented with new functions /export by
  demand, sophisticated searching, etc../ 2.
  Better interconnection with other RD related
  information systems.
• The improvement of English version of the portal.
  The portal have to become an effective support
  tool also for foreign researchers, entrepreneurs
  and venture investors interested in Slovak RD
• Be compatible with EU standard /easy to exchange
  right information/
• Be really complex and actual system /new
  system of collection information/
• System more strongly oriented to science

From CIP RDI to SK CRIS

• Situation there are two parts of CIP RDI
• 1. Popularisation part
• 2. RIS /research information system/
• Our aim in one sentence
• With EU money to transform national RIS to
  European standards what meansto SK CRIS
• Inspiration euro CRIS
• Basic idea full implementation of data
  model CERIF
• Source for this activity max. 600 000
  
• Main tool Public tender

18
What was done and why ? 2009

• April 2009 International conference about
  science in EU /standarts and compatibility of
  CRIS/ in Bratislava - for all who have
  something with science especially ministry
  clerks , different types of state managers etc
  . /they have power and possibility to give
  money/ AIM TO SHOW THAT in EU SOLVED THE
  SAME P ROBLEM S AS WE HAVE TO SOLVE . Create
  effective CRIS
• April 2009 Seminar about format CERIF /for
  IT experts - they have knowledge and no
  possibility to give money / AIM Creator of
  format CERIF explained Slovak IT experts What
  is it CERIF
• May 2009 December 2009 elaborated 7 studies
  from 2 active scientists, 1 expert from
  science funding organisation, 1 ministry
  expert / in Slovakia science is s under
  Ministry of Education , 1 expert from Slovak
  Technical University , 1 expert from area RD
  data and indicators 1 expert from Slovak
  Academy of Science
• As the result we obtained approximately 400
  pages of analyses and ideas about ideal
  CRIS .

19
What was done and what we plan 2010

• Januar 2010 March 2010 Elaborate conditions
  for supplier of SK CRIS
  /economical, experts
  qualification and references/
