I finanziamenti europei alla ricerca in università e in enti pubblici di ricerca: aspetti organizzativi e informativi per il supporto al ciclo di vista del progetto

Abstract

European Union funding poses organizational challenges as well as requires adequate information management tools. Research support services have been set up in 90% of Italian universities, in the so-called Research Offices and in public research bodies, often in the International Relation Offices. The paper summarizes some considerations coming from state-of-the-art and illustrates the results of a dedicated survey which has been carried out on a sample of universities and research bodies of Italy. Both organizational structures to promote and manage the projects and features of information systems to support the whole project life-cycle are taken into account.
