Überresearch: harmonising research funder information

Abstract

Linking research projects to their outputs is one of the worklines where more effort is presently being delivered, as a means to measure the impact of research funding. The presentation examines the challenges that need to be tackled in order to harmonise the research information landscape from a funder's viewpoint and describes the current state of public national research project databases in Europe. Überresearch aims to provide this information on research funding on a wide scale via an open platform that enables tailored data to be obtained for analysis by research-performing institutions and policymakers.
