Get the Good CRIS Going: Ensuring Quality of Service for the User in the ERA
9th international Conference on Current Research Information Systems
June 5-7th, 2008 in Maribor, Slovenia
Organized by IZUM, Slovenia and euroCRIS
Quality and reliability are key factors for achieving the European Research Area (ERA). To establish
an environment where researchers, technology and knowledge freely circulate and where national and
regional research activities, programmes and policies are coordinated at the European level, trust
in the enabling information and technology is crucial. By ensuring completeness, consistency and
reliability of information and by providing dedicated services to different groups of stakeholders,
current research information systems (CRIS) play an important role in the ERA e-Infrastructure.
CRIS 2008 focuses on how quality, reliability and trust can be established at different levels of
research information systems, and how they contribute to the overall quality of service from a
user‘s point of view. The conference is aimed at promoting scientific discussion on CRIS-related
aspects and information exchange on best practice examples. CRIS 2008 continues the tradition of
encouraging the sharing of experiences among developers, producers and users of research information
systems.
CRIS 2008 seeks also to foster discussion on novel approaches and ideas on international dialogue,
pan-European cooperation, and the transfer and use of information related to CRIS.
We warmly invite you to join us at CRIS 2008 in Maribor, Slovenia. CRIS 2008 is the first of the
euroCRIS series of conferences to be held in South East Europe, opening the door to new aspects
and new participants. CRIS 2008 presents an exciting programme with keynote lectures, paper
presentations, workshops and a tutorial on CERIF, the Common European Research Information
Format promoted by euroCRIS.
Maribor, the capital of Styria (Štajerska), is the second largest city in Slovenia. Simultaneously
it is pleasantly small and lodged in the wonderful nature of Pohorje on the one side and wine
growing hills on the other, with the river Drava wending its way through it. With its diverse and
quality offers surrender to the best that one of the key tourist destinations in Slovenia has to offer!
