Re-Search Alps – Research Labs in the Alpine Area

The RE-SEARCH ALPS project aims to gather, consolidate, harmonize and make available to different targets (public  and private bodies working at local, regional and national level) data about laboratories and research and innovation  centers which are active in particular in the regions of seven countries which constitute the Alpine Area. The project  will allow to support the research and development process to possibly know:

(a) what the laboratories and research  centers do;
(b) where they are located;
(c) where excellence emerges, according to research fields / themes and  numbers (active researchers, published papers, won prizes, running EU projects, gotten patents, etc);
(d) people  working in a specific center and determining its excellence;
(e) network of relations they highlight in their websites.

The project is structured in three activities, and aims at achieving three main results:

1.  definition of a standard set of  metadata (based and extending the one defined by the INSPIRE Geoportal) able to represent laboratories and  research and innovation centers;
2. publication of an open dataset describing the laboratories existing in the Alpine  Area, with particular reference to the 48 Regions constituting the Area;
3. development of a semantic and  multilingual web application for supporting users in querying the dataset and visualizing the obtained results.
