This initiative, led by Ed Simons from Radboud University, focuses on enhancing the interoperability of Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) and Institutional Repositories (IR) across Europe. By fostering cooperation between researchers, policymakers, and the IR community, the project aims to establish optimal metadata standards, efficient workflows, and technical models to ensure seamless integration. Recent activities include organizing an international conference in Rome and preparing a survey on current CRIS-IR interoperability practices. The goal is to create a roadmap for future collaborations and best practices.

Ed SimonsRadboud UniversityNetherlandsInitiator and project leader for the development of METIS, the CRIS usedby all 13 universities in the Netherlands as well as the Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences.Currently: Project leader of the development of a Student Information system foruniversities in Mozambique and Zambia.
Purpose of the Task Group CRIS-IR: “To work out, in cooperation with the IR-community, an optimal solution for the interoperability of Research Information Systems on the one hand and Institutional Repositories on the other, on a European scale, taking into account all relevant aspects. “
Thismeansthatthis TG is about: (strivingtowards) Anoptimalsolutionfor research information (supply) to all possiblestakeholders (researchers, managers, policy makers, general public etc..), assuminganoptimalintegration of CRIS on the one hand and InstitutionalRepositorieson the other. Liasewith the IR-Community.
What has been done and is goingon: A concrete workplanfor the TG has been formulated. An international meeting has been (co-)organisedbyeuroCRIS and the National Italian Research Council (CNR) in Rome forpeoplefromboth the CRIS and the IR community. A surveyamong the euroCRISmembers is in preparationconcerning the actualsituationon the interoperabillitybetween CRIS and IR’s in theirinstitutions.
WORKPLAN: • Make an inventory of current practices of CRIS-IR interoperabillity among the euroCRIS members. • Establish contacts with the IR-community and actively promote mutual cooperation, dialogue and understanding between the two communities (CRIS and IR). • Determine and define the optimal set of metadata for a “CRIS-driven” repository. • Define an interoperabillitymetadata standard for CRIS-IR. • Identify consequences of the CRIS-IR work for CERIF and communicate these as possible action points to the CERIF TG.
WORKPLAN (continued): • Work out technical models for optimal interoperability of CRIS and IR, including demonstrators. • Work out organisational and workflow models related to the interoperabillity / integration of CRIS-IR. • Development of use cases for CRIS-IR interoperability. • Communicating within euroCRIS good practices in current real-life cases of interoperability between CRIS and repositories. • Discuss and define principles, policies and theoretical frameworks (the “vision” if you wish) underlying the interoperability of CRIS-OAR (the “philosophical” part of the job).
WORKSHOP IN ROME, MAY 2010 (euroCRIS and CNR) Purpose: Bringing the 2 communitiestogether in dialogue (CRIS and IR). Formulate a possiblefuture “Roadmap” for CRIS-IR. Itwouldbegood to have such meetings structurallyorganised, at leastonce a year. The TG CRIS-IR shouldbe a major contributor and active partner in these meetings.
