# RISIS (Research Infrastructure for Science and Innovation policy Studies) is a project under Horizon 2020 programme. It gathers 18 partners aiming to transform the field of STI studies into an advanced research community.
# RISIS datasets cover five critical dimensions: ERA dynamics, firm innovation dynamics, public sector research, research careers and a repository on research and innovation policy evaluations.
# RISIS newsletter is scheduled every six months, and is an opportunity to talk about RISIS research topics, outputs and publications focusing on last RISIS results, events which involved our team.

US VS EUROPEAN UNIVERSITIES, BEHIND RANKINGS |
|
All of us, at least once in life, we have heard about “best universities”, both in Europe, and around the world. Yet, define excellence is not a simple job. Researchers of USI (Università della Svizzera italiana) in collaboration with University of Turin, have shown a strong relationship between university revenues and their volume of publications and citations, sweeping away some conceptions on university rankings. The study is published on PlosOne. To help them in their research, there was RISIS ETER dataset.

SIPER, WORLDWIDE POLICY EVALUATION DATABASE |
|
Available on-line, from autumn 2019, the public version of SIPER (Science and Innovation Policy Evaluation Repository), a rich and unique database of science and innovation policy evaluations worldwide, and one of core dataset of RISIS project. “ The main goal of this database is to bring together all evaluation reports in the field of Science and Innovation policy, in order to make them accessible for policy-maker and analysts”, said Jakob Edler, director of Fraunhofer ISI.

EUPRO, A WHERE TO STUDY R&D PROJECTS |
|
“EUPRO is the first systematic and standardized database to investigate project based R&D collaboration networks in Europe”, said Thomas Scherngell, senior scientist at the AIT Center for Innovation Systems & Policy, and coordinator of the central access manager to RISIS datasets.
EUPRO, in fact, is a core RISIS dataset providing cleaned and complete information both on R&D projects and on participants over long time periods.

RISIS WILL HAVE A PLACE IN ESOF2020
|
|
RISIS will take part in Euro Science Open Forum (ESOF)2020, with a 90 minutes interactive round table aiming to discuss recent changes in knowledge production, and how they are likely to be empowered by using a research infrastructure. We have imagined an interactive session, to get all participants close to RISIS project...
