How to use PURE
Research projects in PURE and on the Research Portal
Funded research projects are added by the ADRE in PURE at the time of contract signature. However, your role begins at that time. Indeed, we add the principal sponsor (PI) who is identified in the contract, but it is up to you, as the sponsor, to add the researchers who will work on the contract, the potential co-supervisers (internal or external) and also the external collaborations.
Indeed, if the ADRE is in charge of creating the project, the life and visibility of the project is your responsibility.
Don't forget that, on the research portal, the collaboration map supports projects started during the last 5 years, hence the interest to add external collaborations when possible. Moreover, the projects also present the links with publications, activities, ... It is therefore important to fill in the descriptions and to link the research results to the projects.
The creation of projects is open to all PURE users, so you can highlight new areas of research even before finding funding.
Thesis projects must also be added by PhD students, here the PhD student and its superviser will be put as participants in the project.
