“Absolute convert. Webinars are the way forward. Thanks UKSG.” – Geraldine Houlihan, Cardiff Met University
“Very interesting and informative session specifically on CRIS at a prestigious research institution. Thank you.” – Ross MacIntyre, Jisc
“The most useful hour I’ve spent in a long time!” – Lisa Hawksworth, University of Liverpool
“This was a very timely topic, addressed by an expert who has successfully implemented a CRIS. Any academic institution producing research should consider the benefits of a CRIS for purposes of managing knowledge, providing evidence to funders and government, and measuring the impact of that research in the disciplines affected. Put simply, it is smart business.” – Anon

OVERVIEW:
A Current Research Information System, usually known as a “CRIS”, is a system designed to help with the information management of research activity at an institution. The systems provide a common approach to organising data such that they can be used for many purposes, including support for evaluation of research, support for research assessment, compliance management and to assist in the promotion and access to the outcomes of research. CRIS also aim to provide a ‘one stop shop’ of information used for staff CVs and other researcher profiles.
This webinar will provide a brief and general overview of a CRIS and describe how such a system is being used at the University of Edinburgh.
