ST&I Indicators: How was the process before… 70-80’s 80-90’s Paper Forms Electronic Forms Main problems Multiple sources of information Lack of standards Multiple efforts in S&T communities Waste of public funds Institutional system is not involved ST&I Indicators Relational DB Homogeneous sources

Main problems

Multiple sources of information

Lack of standards

Multiple efforts in S&T communities

Waste of public funds

Institutional system is not involved

Fundamental Questions to ICT Who are the players involved with ST&I ? How each one of these players interact (use and create) information ? Which ST&I processes should be considered ?

ICT is being Applied in all S&T Processes INVESTIMENTS KNOWLEDGE CREATION MANAGEMENT TRANSACTIONAL PROCESSES Is to meet all processes and all S&T players information needs In the outputs of a national ST&I system In the inputs of a national ST&I system In the processes of a national ST&I system ICT Challenge

Methodology

Standards

Classifications, international references (difficult to live with organizational specificities)

Flexible

How to expand horizontal and vertically without destroying the reference model

Free from specific technologies

Research is always there

Redundancy (production in the CVs)

Entities relationship management on a decentralized flow system

Knowledge systems

Collaboration is in place

it is not a matter of hiring a software house or even to build up in house

Concluding Remarks New Public decision maker mentality We are not talking about “informatics”; If the systems work fine they will not be “ours” anymore: ( knowledge society effect) Careful with the “call center” The issue of “convincing” the Researches: Ex: identification, public x private information The key is how to make them say “this is my CV” Transparency x Ownership What to do with “non certified” information? You have to trust in the researcher word!!! You have also to be prepared to the “pointed out” effect Internationally Idioms (but also culture) issues Political timing x needing timing

New Public decision maker mentality

We are not talking about “informatics”;

If the systems work fine they will not be “ours” anymore: ( knowledge society effect)

Careful with the “call center”

The issue of “convincing” the Researches:

Ex: identification, public x private information

The key is how to make them say “this is my CV”

Transparency x Ownership

What to do with “non certified” information?

You have to trust in the researcher word!!!

You have also to be prepared to the “pointed out” effect

Internationally

Idioms (but also culture) issues

Political timing x needing timing
