South European Link for Research Information Management (SELRIM)

Abstract

After the 2014 euroCRIS Strategic Membership Meeting in Amsterdam, four organisations decided to sit around a table and start sharing their views on the development of Research Information Systems in their respective countries. What came out of the very first conversation was that the similarities were more than the differences: not only from a political and cultural point of view, but also and most importantly for the way those organisations see the Research Area, their visions and technological roadmaps. The roots of SELRIM are: CERIF, Open Source, Standards and, last but not least, the idea that Collaboration is the king.
