The proposition: Research Process Improvement using GRIDs 0900-0930 Welcome and Introduction

Why EuroCRIS, why this group of partners, why this seminar

0930-1000 The Research Process : From application to publication1000-1030 e-Research: a GRIDs environment1030-1100 break1100-1130 THE RESEARCH PROCESS ON THE GRIDS SURFACE

e-support for the process stages1100-1130 e-workprogramme: Formation of the workprogramme;

consultation and convergence (e-communications, repositories, CRISs of past programmes and results, access GRID and videoconferencing)

1130-1200 e-proposal: Generating the proposal and submitting it; proposal evaluation and contract negotiation (CRISs to store re-usable information (CVs, publications, past projects…), ensure novelty, e-forms with inbuilt constraints / rules, CRISs to judge quality of proposal, e-refereeing)

1200-1230 e-Project: project set-up and management: milestones, deliverables, resources, risks (CRIS, project management system, integration of finance system, HR system) use of GRIDs environment for project execution

1230-1330 LUNCHRESULTS ON THE GRIDS SURFACEe-support for managing results information1330-1400 Products & Patents: results for wealth-creationProducts: the process

for production, where in the process is the information collected Patents: the process for production, where in the process is the information collected

1400-1430 Publications: results for assessmentPublications: the process for production, where in the process is the information collected Grey Literature: the process for production, where in the process is the information collected

1430-1500 Human Resources: the hidden treasureKnow-How: the process for production, where in the process is the information collected Trained Staff: the process for production, where in the process is the information collected

1500-1530 BREAKQUALITY , METRICS & EXPLOITATION: Measurements for Management Assurance1530-1600 Publications Quality: the myth and the reality how to achieve by the

process (peer reviewing, reviewer databases and choosing the right ones, editing to improve readability)Measuring Output; volume and quality (ISI citations, a true measure?)Grey Literature Quality; how to achieve by the process Measuring Output; volume and quality

1630-1700 The elusive desideratumExploitation: From Research prototype to successful product

THE NEW IT ENVIRONMENTWill it help the research process?0900-0930 Cheaper to store than to collectThe new cost equation;

limitless storage and compute powerERCIM0930-1000 Managing the information or managing the real world

that the information represents?CRISs and Electronic Libraries on the GRIDs surface: a system for managing research information

1000-1030 Workflow: can e-process improve the research process?Need for Workflow to support the research process; collect relevant information at the right place at the right time
