European research and innovation
What is CORDIS ?
CORDIS is the Community research and development information service.
It is an interactive information portal available at http://cordis.europa.eu/ to support European research and innovation cooperation.
The objectives of CORDIS are to:
- facilitate participation in the activities of European research
- publish the results of projects funded by the EU
- promote the dissemination of knowledge in order to reinforce the innovation capacity of enterprises
- contribute to bridge the gap between citizens and science.
The CORDIS website is currently offered in 6 languages, highly consulted and referenced on the web since 1994.
As the common repository for EU-funded projects and results for over 20 years, CORDIS publishes the formal deliverables collected by the European Commission and provides channels for added-value contributions from the research community.
Supporting activities include rewriting and translating raw results for broader audiences, news and events services, classification and re-usability of content, printed publications, as well as web publishing, collaborative and networking tools.
CORDIS works closely with all services involved in the execution of EU-funded research programmes and is financed under the Cooperation programme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
CORDIS is managed by the Publications Office of the European Union.
