Converis has been selected as the University’s research information management system. The selection was approved by the University’s Research Data and Information Management (RDIM) Programme Steering Group in June. The system will:
- Provide facilities for researchers to increase the visibility of their research and research data online, gaining a higher profile and greater opportunities for collaboration and funding;
- Reduce the burden of research administration. Making it easier to access information about research and manage projects – freeing up time for research.
- Make it simpler for researchers to re-use information about their research to generate researcher profiles, CVs and provide information to external systems about research outcomes.
- Make it easier to return the University’s REF 2020 submission.
The RDIM programme will also be providing new policy, training, support, central storage and metadata tools. These will help researchers to manage their research data and meet funder requirements for making data available.
