Teaching focus
- Research Information SystemsCRIS (formerly known as CRIS.WWU) is the current research information system of the University of Münster since 2010. It gathers information on research activities and results of the University of Münster. CRIS serves both as a tool for communicating research activities to the outside world as for handling all reporting requirements internally and externally. In May 2022 CRIS was updated to a new version of the underlying Converis software. This process will be continued with further update steps.
