A few places remain for the free conference showcasing the work of the second round of JISC-funded Research Information Management projects. It will be held at the Manchester Conference Centre on Tuesday 20 September 2011.

The JISC Research Information Management (RIM) Projects Final Event has been organised by JISC and UKOLN and aims to present the work of the following JISC-funded Research Information Management Strand 2 final projects:

Brunel Research Under a CERIF Environment (BRUCE) – Brunel University
CERIFy – UKOLN, University of Bath
Integrated Research Input and Output System (IRIOS) – University of Sunderland
Measuring Impact under CERIF (MICE) – Centre for e-Reseach (CeRch), Kings College London

The day will start with an overview of the strand, including its aims and objectives. This will be followed by a sneak preview of each of the projects’ findings, where each of the projects will seek to persuade delegates to come to their sessions. After the break, four parallel sessions will be held involving all projects; these sessions will be repeated in the afternoon. Therefore delegates will have an opportunity to visit at least two project sessions during the day.

Following the afternoon project sessions, there will be a number of presentations from projects that are building on the Research Information Management strand (e.g. from RMAS, Research Council, etc). The day will end with a plenary discussion focusing on the way forward.

Further information on the JISC Research Information Management (RIM) Projects Final Event is available, including a draft programme and a booking form.

The JISC-funded CERIFy Project in which the lead partners are UKOLN and Trinity College Dublin, has announced the opening of its Web site. The CERIFy Project is funded by JISC from February to July 2011 to investigate how the CERIF (Common European Research Information Format) standard for Current Research Information Systems (CRISs) could be used more widely within the sector to manage research data, to increase such engagement to a critical mass, and to support an emerging community of practice in Research Information Management (RIM). Further information on CERIF, CERIFy and its partner institutions is available from the CERIFy Web site.
