Current Research Information Systems (CRIS)

A current research information system (CRIS) is an information system owned by a research organisation – such as a university or a research institute –, handling the organisation's (meta)data for the research activity.
CRIS systems are also known as "research information management systems" (RIM Systems, or RIMS).

CRIS @ UniBo

The CRIS of the Alma Mater Studiorum–Università di Bologna can be found at http://cris.unibo.it.

It is based on the IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) technology by CINECA—which is why we mostly adopt the acronym "IRIS" to refer to the Alma Mater CRIS in the APICe space.
