Central systems for collecting data on science and higher education -- role and evolution in the light of the Polish Legislation

Abstract

The Polish National Information Processing Institute (OPI) in Warsaw runs and maintains a suite of research information services and systems the most important of which are the national CRIS POL-on and the Polish National Scientific Bibliography (PBN). The presentation summarises the goals achieved by the current national-level system configuration and the challenges posed by the siloed character of certain systems and the frequent changes in the national-level legislation on research and higher education. New opportunities have arisen with the recent passing of the new "Act 2.0" that will allow the integrated system architecture to be revamped, extended and standardised.
