Within the framework of OP Education of EU, a project focused on the development of human resources with the support of an integrated information system for the evaluation of scientific and research results was developed at the University of Žilina (UNIZA). The main output of the project was developed and elaborated Project Information System (PIS), which provides a platform for comprehensive coordination of project activities and support for the creation of multidisciplinary research teams at UNIZA. The system is also a basic support tool for monitoring employee research activities, offers centralized registration of data on the project activities of all domestic and foreign grant and non-grant schemes. The system streamlines management of science and research at UNIZA, simplifies administrative processes and also processes outputs for management components. At the user level, it improves information within the university and also in relation to the public area. The system is linked to the university library, the education system, the university’s personal and economic system; that allows personnel and financial control. The monitoring of the educational, research and publishing activities of the UNIZA staff is an important part of the system as the support for the evaluation.
