Intelligent Profiles
Researcher profiles play an important role in research discovery and cross-disciplinary collaboration by showcasing expertise, skills, research activities and professional achievements for individuals and campus groups. However, researcher profiles are often hard to maintain, lacking relevant information and poorly designed.
Intelligent Profiles is a game-changing solution that automatically updates the researcher profiles with a wealth of relevant information including scientific articles, patents, conferences, awards and mentions in the media, ensuring profiles are always up-to-date, professionally designed and maintenance free.
What are researcher profiles good for?
-
Researchers - showcase expertise, skills and professional achievements, find potential collaborators and learn about the activity of colleagues.
-
Students - find mentors and collaborators.
-
Faculty administrators - quickly find cross-disciplinary expertise, easily repurpose information for consumers and improve faculty collaboration within or across departments.
-
University management - increase university prestige and help tracking research productivity.
-
Entrepreneurs and technology transfer organizations - easily identify main players in a field of research for potential collaboration.
-
The public and the media - find experts and learn about current research.
