International Research Information System - I Research -

Also in Europe we have discovered the need for international cooperation in: - Research programming Assessment of proposals Evaluation of research Communication with society

In 2002: launch of I Research • Network of organisations • finger print technology • thesauri • XML

Aims • Sharing information on national research and scientists • Maximize the effectiveness of finding information available on a global scale concerning researchers and their “knowledge profiles”.

Current Partners (2004) • Active in Europe: – Research councils: NWO, FWO, Academy Finland, (INSERM France, MRC UK); Welcome Trust, Euro. CRIS, ESF • Working with the same technology: – NIH USA, E-Bio. Sci • Participated in designing the concept: – CNPQ Brazil, and Bireme • SHARED network (www. sharingpoint. net)

Structure ‘under construction’ Steering Committee Organisational Task Force: - legal, IPR issues - Validation - Protocols, standards - Mutual projects - Funding Technical task force: -Thesauri Observers Support organisation -New features I Research Network (funding agencies, related parties)

Progress • Technical – ‘Expert Finder’ in testing in actual assessment of proposals • Quantity – 15. 000 fingerprints, but mainly in life sciences • Operational – Europe: demand support from EC, Euro. HORCS, ESF – Link with South: members of SHARED network participating in I Research

Expert finder

International backup National Collexion

Challenges Organisational • Quantity: – How to get operational on a larger scale – Linking up with other networks • Sustainability • Validation of the data/information Technical – thesauri beyond life sciences – Language translation problems

How to create a ‘Network of networks’ • Interlink with Scienti, NIH, SHARED, EU, others • Which steps to be taken? Scien. TI SHARED I Research EU others NIH

Proposal to Scien. TI • the Scien. TI Steering Committee is invited to participate in the I-Research Network • the Executive Secretary of Scien. TI represents the Network in IResearch Steering Committee • I Research might be invited to participate in Scien. TI • using the same technology.
