FRIS

Introduction

FRIS is a research portal aimed at curious citizens, businesses, policymakers, journalists and researchers. The FRIS research portal, run by the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation (EWI) wants to be a simple, transparent and open platform to make Flemish research information publicly available. It is a virtual space collecting all information about publicly-funded scientific research in Flanders. Our team started to is create a website, Open Expertise, that visualizes the data so it’s easy and user-friendly to interpret by the user.

The aim is to create an expert finding tool that makes it easier to find expertise in Flanders. For example, a business could be looking for a researcher who specializes in Machine-Learning: they will be able to find and compare research in that field of study and find contact information in order to start a collaboration with the research institute.

The FRIS research portal will make finding the right researcher for your project easier and more efficient!
