Universities face unique challenges in managing their research enterprises

Countless challenges impact the success of university’s research and teaching efforts. There are people to manage, workflows to oversee, promotion needs to focus on, and funder demands to meet. In a recent Ipsos and Elsevier survey of over 100 senior academic leaders and funders globally, respondents cited ensuring research excellence, securing funding, sourcing the right talent and the changing political and regulatory landscape among their key priorities over the next five years.

Interestingly, there was a disconnect between their perceived level of importance of key challenges versus their level of preparedness to excel in these areas – demonstrating a desire for positive change.

Many of these challenges are familiar, but the intensity with which they clog up the research administration process is growing every year, and the number of staff needed to oversee them is also growing.

Institutions need a way to collate all of the research data that pertains to their institution in one place so that they can access and report on everything from discoveries and patents to poems and theses, to media mentions and research outputs.

This is how Pure + Interfolio can help ensure the success of universities' research enterprises.
