  • Make actionable decisions
    Aggregate data and create live dashboards, charts, and tables for internal and external stakeholders to advise budgeting, expenditure, and forecasting decisions.
  • Track publication data
    Collect, validate, and report on research publication; track bibliographic metadata as well as full text, including Open Access repository integration.
  • Manage awards
    Track a project from the initial idea and award application process through the research itself, up to the final outcome including publications and citations of published work.
  • Make your work visible
    Promote and publicize the research, researchers, and activities of your institution via a public, searchable web portal.

Flexible research management

Different stakeholders have different needs – that’s why Converis offers more than just information on projects and publications. Converis offers a holistic approach, covering the complete research lifecycle from pre-award workflows to research output management. Converis comes with a powerful reporting tool, including embedded reports to view the information directly from within Converis, in addition to advanced reporting options and dashboards via Converis Research Analytics.

Linking institutional systems

Converis serves as a central integration hub for joining repositories, personal libraries, and institutional databases and systems, e.g. HR and finance. Converis links the various systems, capturing research-related information, creating standardization for profiles and CVs, and reducing the need for repeated data entry.

Strong configuration capabilities

Offering unmatched configuration capabilities, Converis gives you control of the data model, workflows, user rights and integrations. Providing individualized analysis, you can assemble complete professional profiles for a comprehensive, up-to-date collection of all teaching, research and service-related activities.

Facilitating essential research workflows
