1.National project funded by ERDF National Information System of Support Research in Slovakia access to electronical information sources
There are 4 activities create to obtain or to implement :1 - “SCIENCE” database collections for “all” scientists live in Slovakia2 - strong tools for searching in this collections /Metalib SFX/3 - building own Slovak science results database4 - transforming actual IS of R and D to SK CRIS
Unrecoverable allowance: 20 mil. €Realisation : 2008 - 2014
20/05/2010 ICSTI conference BAKU 2010 11
Activity 1 - Database collections Free on – line access for all academic and research workers in

National Information System of Support Research in Slovakia
access to electronical information sources
Transformation of IS of R and D to new functions with respect of standards EU with emphasing to efective using and
conections to other IS
Activity number 4
What do we want to change ?Central Information Portal for Research, Development
and Innovation (CIP RDI)
One of the main information, managerial and supervisory tools of the state scientific and technical policy
Hosted and administrated by the Slovak Centre of Scientific and Technical Information
CIP RDI according to the law on state R&D support provides:
Information on public calls for research proposals and projects implemented within the state R&D support programmes, incl. results achieved;
Information on results of R&D tasks’ solution and participation of the Slovak Republic in international programmes and initiatives;
R&D related summary reports and further information according to the Minister of Education decision.

20/05/2010 15ICSTI conference BAKU 2010
Why we want to change it ?
1 . Augmented with new functions /export by demand, sophisticated searching, etc../
2. Better interconnection with other R&D related information systems.
3.The improvement of English version of the portal. The portal have to become an effective support tool also for foreign researchers, entrepreneurs and venture investors interested in Slovak R&D
4.Be compatible with EU standard /easy to exchange ”right” information/
5. Be really complex and actual system /new system of collection information/
6.System more strongly oriented to ”science” user

From CIP RDI to SK CRIS
Situation there are two parts of CIP RDI
1. Popularisation part
2. RIS /research information system/
Our aim in one sentence:
With EU money to transform national RIS to European standards what means
to SK CRIS Inspiration: euro CRIS
Basic idea : full implementation of data model CERIF
Source for this activity : max. 600 000 €
Main tool: Public tender
20/05/2010 17ICSTI conference BAKU 2010
What was done and why ? 2009
April 2009 International conference about science in EU /standarts and compatibility of CRIS/ in Bratislava - for all who have “something” with science especially ministry clerks , different types of state managers etc . /they have power and possibility to give money/ AIM : TO SHOW THAT in EU SOLVED THE SAME P ROBLEM S AS WE HAVE TO SOLVE …. Create effective CRIS
April 2009 Seminar about format CERIF /for IT experts - they have knowledge and no possibility to give money / AIM : Creator of format CERIF explained Slovak IT experts ”What is it CERIF”
May 2009 – December 2009 elaborated 7 studies from : 2 active scientists, 1 expert from science funding organisation, 1 ministry expert / in Slovakia science is s ”under” Ministry of Education , 1 expert from Slovak Technical University , 1 expert from area RD data and indicators 1 expert from Slovak Academy of Science
As the result we obtained approximately 400 pages of analyses and ideas about “ ideal” CRIS ….
