CHAPTER 01
Institution websites
Get a website for your department, faculty or research centre, with people, publications, projects, news and events. We configure and implement it. Your researchers submit updates; your editors approve what goes public.
Explore this area01Your institution’s branding and languagesYour name, branding, language, contacts, and institutional context shape the site. Start with a focused unit and agree the wider structure as you expand.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Department and faculty identity
- Polish and English content
- Institution-specific contacts and navigation
02Researcher and laboratory pagesMake expertise easier to understand through researcher profiles and research-group pages. Connect the person to their publications, projects, teaching, and affiliations.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- People and expertise pages
- Research groups and lab profiles
- Connected publications and project records
03Project and publication pagesGive a project space for its actual question, team, work, and outputs. Keep formal funding details available without making them the whole story.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Project descriptions and team links
- Public output and resource links
- Publication archives and linked authors
04News, events and teaching contentNews, events, study programmes, and courses belong alongside the research. Editors manage structured content in the same workspace.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- News and author bylines
- Events and calendar feeds
- Courses and study programme content
05Researcher updates and editorial approvalResearchers can contribute the information they know best. Review and visibility controls determine what reaches the public site.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Preview before publishing
- Profile and publication approval
- Public, internal, and private visibility
06Search and collaboration enquiriesHelp a visitor find expertise or a relevant research group, then give them a clear route to discuss a collaboration.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Search across public research records
- People and research-group discovery
- Dedicated collaboration entry points
CHAPTER 02
People & research data
Keep biographies, affiliations, publications and project relationships together. Researchers maintain their information; reviewers check it before it appears on your website or in research discovery.
Explore this area01Researcher-owned profilesGive people a place to maintain their biography, interests, links, and identifiers, with editorial review before public changes take effect.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Biography and research interests
- ORCID and useful profile links
- Field-level visibility and consent
02Publication records that stay usefulConnect ORCID and OpenAlex sources to the institution’s publication work. Imported records can be confirmed, corrected, or reviewed rather than silently treated as perfect.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES

- Uncertain attribution review
- Linked department and external authors
03The relationships around the personSee research groups, project involvement, and outputs as connected records. Keep membership and project permissions explicit.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Research-group roles and membership
- Project and publication relationships
- Institution and unit context
04A distinction between draft and publicAn internal record can be useful before it is ready for discovery. Preview, approval, and visibility controls keep that distinction clear.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Draft and pending review states
- Approved public profiles and outputs
- Private project access controls
05Information with a sourceRetain the connection to an institution’s own records. Public indexing should preserve that ownership rather than merge people simply because their names look alike.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Institution and department attribution
- Stable source-owned records
- Controlled public withdrawal and republishing
06A foundation for the next projectUse a clearer research record to discover complementary expertise and put potential collaborators in context.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES

CHAPTER 03
SciMatch research discovery
Describe the research you need in plain language. SciMatch finds relevant researcher profiles and the publications behind them, so you can investigate potential collaborators—even when you do not know their names.
Explore this area01Researcher search that understands the questionDescribe the research you need in natural language, or search with precise names and technical terms. Automatic mode selects a search approach; semantic and keyword modes give you explicit control.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Automatic, semantic, and keyword search
- Institution, publication, citation, and career-stage filters
- Researcher and topic suggestions as you type
02Publications behind the expertiseLook beyond a biography. Review relevant papers alongside search results, then explore a researcher’s publications, abstracts, authorship, and available source links. Publication-search infrastructure also supports title and description queries.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Relevant papers attached to researcher results
- Profile publications sorted by date or citations
- Publication search by title, description, year, and citations
03A conversation you can follow back to sourcesAsk a research question, then refine it with a follow-up. The discovery assistant brings retrieved research context into its response and exposes source references you can inspect.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Natural-language discovery and follow-up questions
- Researcher citations with profile links
- Source panels and conversation history
04The research landscape, made explorableExplore researchers on an interactive topic-similarity map. Look at clusters, filter the view, inspect a point, and follow nearby expertise across institutional boundaries.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Interactive research maps with zoom and selection
- Institution colours and advanced filters
- Related-researcher exploration and institution comparison
05Profiles with reasons to investigateConnect a result to its research interests, affiliations, publication record, and available identifiers. Match explanations show the evidence available behind a result instead of asking you to trust a score alone.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Research interests, affiliations, and source identifiers
- Matched keywords and related publications
- Context for relevance, with missing evidence kept explicit
06Start from the document you already haveUse a research proposal, grant application, or reference document as the starting point for discovery. Document analysis extracts topics, builds research queries, and brings matching researchers back for review.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Document upload and topic extraction
- Visible search queries and linked researcher results
- Analysis progress and previous-document history
CHAPTER 04
Funding & applications
Find funding calls in Grant Radar, prepare the application with potential partner references, and follow internal approvals in one place. Track the funding decision and hand an awarded grant into a project.
Explore this area01Funding discovery in contextStart from a Grant Radar call and carry its source details into the institutional application. The catalogue’s maximum support stays distinct from the amount you request.
WHAT THIS INCLUDES
- Call source and revision
- Programme requirements and deadlines
- Separate requested funding amount
02Review the fit before relying on itKeep eligibility, consortium conditions, and the project’s actual scope in view. A relevant call is a starting point for review, not a funding commitment.
