CRIS 2018 is the fourteenth edition in a biennial series of conferences devoted to improving the availability of and access to research information across Europe and globally. 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).
Submission Guidelines
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.
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
Apart from the regular paper presentations, during the conference we offer the possibility to organise/present (mor information on this in the Web page of the conference, http://www.cris2018.se/cfp/):
- Tutorials
- Workshops, and
- Exhibition and Business sessions
List of Topics
I. FAIR communication, sharing and profiling of research
Contributions on best practices, technologies and case studies concerning the promotion of discoverability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of research and its products, as well as 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, a.o.t. underpinning research data infrastructures (like e.g. the EOSC). Linked to this: the role of standards in optimizing 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.
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.

Venue
The town of Umeå, with it’s two universities, is located in the north of Sweden
The 120.000 inhabitants has an average age of 38 and this is reflected in the townscape with its pubs, restaurants, cafés, nightclubs and shops. Umeå is home to Norrlandsoperan and several international jazz, folk music and rock festivals. The range of events is not least appreciated by the universities’ students.
Higher education
On Campus Umeå all academic disciplines, courses and programmes, and study environments are within walking distance of each other. These are manifested in the two higher education institutions situated at campus. Umeå University, a full-service institution with it’s 30000+ students and SLU -Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences – develops the knowledge about how to use natural, biological land and water resources in a sustainable manner.
