About the Conference

CRIS 2022 is organised by euroCRIS in cooperation with the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia (MSE) and with the help of University Computing Centre, University of Zagreb (SRCE).

CRIS 2022 is the fifteen edition in a biennial series of conferences devoted to improving the availability of and access to research information systems across Europe. The target audience includes managers of research-performing and/or funding institutions, evaluators, librarians, ICT experts, as well as policy makers. euroCRIS is a non-profit professional association of CRIS experts and custodian of the Common European Research Information Format (CERIF).

The conference is partially financed from the EU funded Scientific and Technological Foresight project in Croatia, led by the Ministry of Science and Education, partnered by University Computing Centre (SRCE). One of the goals of the project is implementation of the national research information system - CroRIS.

Situation around Covid-19: an update

As of Feb 1st, 2022, according to the Croatian Ministry of Interior guidance there are no restrictions for vaccinated travelers to enter the country. This is then to confirm that plans are to hold the CRIS2022 conference as a face-to-face event next May. Any unexpected changes to these plans will be immediately shown here and duly communicated to euroCRIS members.

Venue

Dubrovnik - the Pearl of the Adriatic

Dubrovnik is an exceptional medieval stone walled city. With its UNESCO World Heritage listed sites, mild climate all year round and direct flights from over 50 large international airports, it is an ideal place to merge business and comfort.

Sitting proudly on the calm blue waters of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is one of the world's most magnificent fortified cities and without doubt currently one of Europe’s most fashionable destinations.

Steeped in history and virtually unchanged since the 13th Century the old quarter provides a fascinating distraction from the everyday’s business. The city is a living museum and a live stage and has an ideal connection between its historical past and the modern day. It is surrounded by medieval walls that are 1940 meters long and are preserved in their original form.

Hotel Dubrovnik Palace

The conference will take place at the Hotel Dubrovnik Palace, one of the finest hotels in the city.

Hotel Dubrovnik Palace nestles on the scenic seafront between a pine forest and the turquoise coastal waters of the lush Lapad peninsula. Just a few minutes’ drive north west of medieval Dubrovnik Old Town, the stunning location offers phenomenal photo opportunities of the Elafiti Islands from every direction.

Magnificent views, relaxing al fresco event spaces, five-star facilities and skilled technical support make Hotel Dubrovnik Palace’s conference centre one of the best equipped, stylish meeting venues in the region. It is also one of the largest and most flexible.

Hotel Dubrovnik Palace offers 11 conference and meeting rooms designed for standout events for from 10 to 750 delegates (or 1,000 via video link).

Call for Proposals

Theme: Linking research information across data spaces

Deadline for submissions: Mar 13th, 2022

The CRIS 2022 conference will address recent trends in the significance, position and use of Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) and more specifically the opportunities they offer for research information exchange and aggregation across institutions, regions, countries and/or stakeholders (eg between institutions and research funders). For this purpose, the conference will gather researchers, managers of research-performing or funding organisations, evaluators, librarians, research administrators, ICT experts and policy makers.

The general theme of the conference is “Linking research information across data spaces”, emphasising the need for using the ever more widespread CRIS implementation to ensure smooth and effective mechanisms for research information exchange and aggregation. From Open Science implementation to business intelligence through research assessment, such interoperability mechanisms offer opportunities to improve the research information management processes in many different domains.

Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) play a pivotal role in this respect as they hold a vast set of interlinked pieces of information (metadata) about virtually all aspects and objects of research. However, not all systems hold the same information profiles, so any best practice examples for harmonisation efforts in this regard should be much welcome.

Following the cancellation of our CRIS2020 conference last year, we invite the interested audience in this 15th International Conference on Current Research Information Systems to bring forward and discuss ideas, solutions and experiences related to both the central theme and more generally to the present role and position of CRIS, and to report on relevant developments going on at a local, national or international level.

Conference topics include but are not limited to:

The possible role and integration of CRIS as supporting information resources for research data infrastructures such as the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative
Best practices in system interoperability and research information exchange at a regional or a national level
Research Information infrastructures on a national and international level
The significance of CRISs for the promotion and realisation of FAIR and Open Science
The use and implementation of standards in CRIS: identifiers, formats, semantics, (controlled) vocabularies
Use cases in the application of CERIF
The use of CRIS in the field of research data management
Semantic approaches, data mining and profiling in the interpretation of research information
The (worldwide) uptake of CRIS Systems by various stakeholders
Linked Open Data for research information
Enabling and supporting research cooperation through CRIS
Value, impact and outcomes of universities
CV or portfolio exposure and profiling of researchers
The role of CRIS in support of Plan S and transforming Scholarly Communications
The role of CRIS in support of the responsible use of research metrics: analytics and quantitative measurement in research information systems
Output and performance: trends in research assessment, rankings and benchmarking

We invite the CRIS community and all other interested parties to submit their findings and experiences as contributions of different kinds. This includes full or short research papers, review papers and articles describing case studies, experiences or proposals of novel pieces of technology, processes or models. The submission system of the conference will allow participants to classify the contribution in a number of types that will be reviewed according to that nature.

Conference contributions will be organized in three tracks:

I. Open communication, sharing, reuse and profiling of research

Contributions on best practices, technologies and case studies concerning the promotion and facilitation of research information exchange and the creation of research information infrastructures on various levels, be it institutional, national or international. Special attention may be given to the role of CRIS and CRIS-based e-infrastructures in creating an international and multifunctional “FAIR” research information layer, underpinning among other things research data infrastructures like the EOSC. Related to this, the role of standards in optimising research communication and exchange.

II. Measuring research, its quality and impact

Contributions on best practices, case studies, operational solutions and future trends in benchmarking, evaluation and assessment of research and research impact; including policy directions, technology developments and emerging standards. This also includes the need for and approaches towards quality and reliability of research information to support the responsible use of research metrics by all stakeholders.

III. Advances in research information technology

Contributions on advanced information and communication technologies to improve research information quality, availability and exchange, including database, process and workflow, user interface or Cloud-based technologies. With special attention to CERIF and CRIS-related technologies and developments.

Any other topic not fitting in the tracks but falling in the scope and topics of the conference will equally be considered as part of a general track.

In order to present a paper at the conference, the first step is to send in a 2-page extended abstract for the contribution. Based on these abstracts, the Programme Committee will assess the suitability of the papers for the event.

Please submit your extended abstract to the following easyChair account: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=cris2022#

Guidelines for writing extended abstracts

An extended abstract is not simply a long abstract. An extended abstract should contain some references, comparisons to related previous work, cases, descriptions and findings and other details expected in a full paper but not in an abstract. The typical length of the extended abstract is 2-5 pages. The abstract should be readable and understandable, and it is key to highlight the main contributions that make the work presented useful to the audience of CRIS researchers and/or practitioners.

The program committee will consider among other these aspects in reviewing the extended abstract:

Are there any major technical flaws in the abstract?
Is the language appropriate for a scholarly or technical audience?
Is the work a significant advance over previous work/cases/experiences in the area, by the same authors or others?
Does the extended abstract offer an interesting perspective on a problem or describe experiences that might be useful to others?
Is the abstract well presented and understandable?

Best Paper Award

In Memory of the late Max Stempfhuber euroCRIS offers an award to the best paper in the conference.

The timeline for submitting and selecting contributions is:

Mar 13th, 2022 – Extended abstract submission
Mar 31st, 2022 – Acceptance/Rejection Announcement
June 15th, 2022 – Full paper camera-ready submission

As it was the case for previous CRIS Conferences, the extended abstracts for all accepted papers will be published in the euroCRIS repository shortly before the conference.

On top of this, a selection of papers will be published as post-proceedings with an international publisher indexed in the Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and Dimensions. The required documents for this process are already available for download below:
