Research in focus: Making excellence visible and bundling services

Although Austria would like to position itself in Europe as a research-intensive location with outstanding researchers, national research currently receives far too little attention. The RIS Synergy project explores potential ways to make national research and research competence accessible to a broad public, while also strengthening research networks with efficient, internationally recognised measures. Two focal points of this paper are drawing on international experience from successful implementations and examining the requirements of a wide variety of target groups.
