Five minute guide to choosing and implementing research management technologyUNIT4 UK
In a recent letter to the Telegraph, signatories from leading global research institutions claim major 20th century scientific breakthroughs would have been crushed under the weight of excessive modern administrative demands.
At UNIT4 we have witnessed the increase in the demands placed on universities in the last few years and this is not limited to the peer preview process refered to in the letter. Complicated funding requirements, the inflexibility of existing systems, the trend towards bigger, more collaborative projects and greater competition for grants have combined to place huge pressure on institutions and the researchers themselves.
There has to be a balance between enforcing quality measures and allowing innovation, finding the right mix will be difficult. Until that time however technology can help make this complex process simpler.
Our five-minute guide to choosing and implementing research management technology has been designed to give you an overview of the challenges and opportunities presented by the new funding landscape.
Slides from our UK Kuali Day talk on Building a Community in June 2014. Simon Whittemore and I outline Jisc's new strategic focus, the "co-design" pipeline of new products and services that we are lining up, including our student lifecycle challenge: From Prospect to Alumnus. We also present feedback from event delegates on their interests and priorities, and potential next steps in building and sustaining the nascent UK Kuali community.
Many countries globalized their economy. Due to this act, many foreign direct investments have come to establish industries. These companies demand multi-skilled employees. This presentation provides strategies in developing the needed human resources.

One of the factors behind the Philippines' consistency as a high-growth country is the innovativeness of the Filipino people, which is backstopped by Filipinnovation, the National Innovation System.
The National Innovation System (also NIS, National System of Innovation) is the flow of technology and information among people, enterprises and institutions which is key to the innovative process on the national level.
In this study we tried to focus on the National Innovation System of Thailand and the role of Industries there on contrast of countries like South Korea, Japan, USA, Germany, Singapore.
