SynSICRIS is an extension from DSpace-CRIS that helps for planning and monitoring of researchs' contributions to societal impact.
The aim of the monitoring tool is:
- Foster social impact orientation from planning to beyond project completion.
- Reduces documentation effort through synergies: Replaces parts of applications and reports for research funding
- Support multiple use of data for evaluation, transfer and research funding processes
...
The new features of the SynSICRIS-Monitoring-Tool connects project planning via an impact pathway and a workingplan-bar-chart with a monitoring approach. It can be used during the whole project livetime and via versioning of the projects, snapshoots of the different stages are available and can be compared. The data can be filtered and displayed in graphs for individual projects, as well as in a cross-project search environment.
Scope of use and adaptation:
- Specifically tailored for German federal research funding– with an approach that is as generalistic as possible to allow broader use
- Developed in the field of agriculture, food, environment and sustainability – transferability to other thematic areas is expected
- Usable in parts and with some adaptations also for research institutions (e.g. impact-pathway or parts of the data model)
iented funding processes.
