Please note: The CRIS Technion Portal is currently going through some updates and maintenance and will not be available for some days.
CRIS is a Current Research Information System that helps researchers to organize and enhance their professional profiles
with information on scholarly activities, intellectual property, creative works and more.
CRIS creates a unique “fingerprint” identifier for each researcher, and recognizes every author’s research fields and keywords.
CRIS also identifies keywords and research fields for the academic institutions and for specific faculties.
The system affiliates every researcher with their academic institution and enhances your achievements as a Technion researcher.
There are many benefits to organizing all of your academic works in one place, mainly in improving your research visibility (globally), and in making the researcher reports more accessible in research committees.
- The “fingerprints” and the keywords allow you to find other authors with similar research interests and build connections for potential collaborations.
- Students who are looking for a thesis supervisor will also be able to reach you more easily, as well as companies who are interested in original researches or patents.
- CRIS presents an interactive map that shows your academic collaborations in Israel and globally, making related researchers and publications more accessible.
All of the information and data displayed on the portal complies with the General Data Protection Regulation law on data protection and privacy in the European Union (EU).
