Every day, universities, research organisations and clusters are facing the national and international competition for research excellence and funding means.
Therefore, it is crucial for every organisation to identify and communicate its own strengths, activities and results. In order to be able to do this, a detailed and up to date self-view on the own skills as well as their classification in a national and international context is needed.
Traditionally, this demands extensive resources and time for both researchers and administrators to from time-to-time collect and analyse the needed data.
The implementation of a research information system can solve this. However, the implementation of such a system faces many challenges. The desired overview of the own activities is often complicated to get due to intransparent data management in various, isolated systems and databases. The understanding of the organisation’s own skills as well as its collaborations with other organisations is hence only fragmentary and locally available.
Repeatedly, research organisations are facing the same key question:
Where do we get the information from, and how can it be kept up to date?

The CONVERIS approach is based on the fundamental principle of tracking research footprints - by reusing existing information that the
scientists produce as they carry out their research.
An implementation of CONVERIS serves to lower the operational costs by continuously supporting the internal processes and providing an up-to-date view on the organisation's researchers at any time.
