    The creation of a harmonized, semantically enriched Flemish research discipline list: about pitfalls and opportunities
    (euroCRIS, 2018-06-14)
    ;
    One of the most important recommendations of the report by Peters et al. on the administrative simplification of research reporting in Flanders (2011) was the creation of a single research discipline code list that could be used to tag information inside CRIS systems for reporting, dissemination and visualisation purposes. The uniform definition and management of the semantics of this research discipline code list for all research actors in Flanders could have an immediate impact on the accuracy of reporting and the policy pursued on the basis thereof. In addition, such managed classification systems can be used in dynamic research information systems that drastically reduce the administrative burden of the research population, which automatically entails an important investment in research and innovation.

    The creation of the Flemish research discipline list, a huge step forward in harmonizing research information (systems)
    (euroCRIS, 2018-06-14)
    ;
    In 2011, a report was written by Peters et al. on the administrative simplification of research reporting in Flanders. Next to the description of several data flows that could be harmonized, validated and merged into CRIS systems, the report also contained important recommendations on the use of common standards and classifications that could lead to more efficient and qualitative research information (systems) and thus more efficient research reporting. As such, in Flanders several classifications are used in research reporting, i.e. research discipline codes are used for denoting a researcher’s discipline, while financial codes are used for reporting on the funding type, and technology and publication codes are used for depicting innovation sectors and publication types respectively,...

    Research data management at the Flemish universities: state-of-affairs

    ;
    In 2016-2017 a survey was performed in Flanders by the VLIR Work Group RDM on the actual practices and beliefs of Flemish researchers on research data management, which is a hot topic on the European research agenda. This survey made clear that a joint effort of the Flemish universities was required in order to overcome some of the hurdles of RDM in a fast and efficient way. If selected, this presentation/poster will include figures from the survey as well as measures that have been taken to overcome some of the most pressing items in RDM (i.e. the establishment of the DMPonline.be portal, the development of funder templates,…). Furthermore, this presentation/poster will also focus on the requirements that needed the support of the Flemish university boards as well as the Flemish Government in accordance with the upcoming GDPR (i.e. data infrastructure, training capacities, safety aspects). To summarize, we will give an overview how Flanders organized themselves in terms of RDM (and GDPR-compliancy) in a short term notice, and what the future perspectives are (i.e. open data).
