euroCRIS membership meeting
Exploring technical challenges to achieve a more effective system interoperability in research information management
November 18-20, 2019 at University of Münster, Germany
The euroCRIS membership meeting takes place November 18-20, 2019, in Münster, Germany. Münster is a multi-faceted city of science and learning, the City of Westphalian Peace, the capital city of bicycles and Germany’s Climate Protection Capital. Westphalia’s longstanding regional capital is a young city, thanks in no small part to its more than 60,000 students and more that 312.000 inhabitants. It is an outstanding place to live and work, rich in urban culture, municipal diversity and first-class rural recreation. It was - at least that's what we think - perfect for such a European meeting!
Founded in 1780, the → WWU (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität) Münster is a university with tradition. It boasts 250 courses of study, 15 departments, 45,500 students, 5,500 graduates every year, a staff of 7,100 including 571 professors, and 500 internatinal partnership agreements with universities and other academic institutions all over the world. But at our university it is not numbers but people - their knowledge, their research, their curiosity - that count.
For your stay in Münster have a look at list of hotels on the right and book via each hotel's own reservation system. For more accomodations please also visit the → website of Münsters tourist information or other known booking platforms.
The membership meeting mainly will take place in the buildung of the "Bezirksregierung Münster". It is located in the heart of Münster directly next to the cathedral at → Domplatz 1-3, 48143 Münster.
You will get there by → bus (line 1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 22). The stop is Domplatz. There is also a small → parking area. Follow the signate for "Domplatz". However, the easiest way to get there is by bike.
The program is still work in progress and will be specified during the next days.
This time slot is for the meeting of the euroCRIS board.
Following the first edition of this developers' workshop at the Spring 2019 meeting in Helsinki, this event (still TBC) will revisit the process for making CRIS systems OpenAIRE-compliant via the implementation of the → OpenAIRE CERIF-XML Guidelines for CRIS Managers. The activity is aimed at CRIS managers and developers.
What you always wished to know about → CERIF but were afraid to ask.
A discussion on the gradual expansion of the → euroCRIS Directory of Current Research Information Systems (DRIS) and its associated workflows for information collection from institutions.
An opportunity for catching up with other colleagues while enjoying a drink and a bite, for grabbing your name tag or just to check the event venue in Münster.
