Social Impact

There is a demonstrated increased need for quality information (See ERA, I.e.) Information is recognized as key

resource for success Information is power

Everyone needs to find a person (expertise), an idea (project) or a product (result)

Information is instrumental in helping to set global agenda(s)

What This Means for EuroCRIS CRIS, though not well defined, is

changing in scope and scale Is there a European portal on Research

Information (RI)? Technology is rapidly changing (still) HOWEVER, do we have any proof of

CRIS impacting on anything, anywhere? What, if anything, are we going to do

about this?
