THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRONIC SCIENTIFIC INFORMATIONSYSTEM IN ASSESSMENT OF PROVISION BY NATIONAL CONTACTPOINTS INFORMATION ABOUT THE EU FRAMEWORK PROGRAMMERESEARCH AND INNOVATION TO UKRAINIAN ENTITIES

Abstract

The aim was to determine the role of the National Electronic Scientific Information System (NAUKA System) in analyzing the effectiveness of the activities of the National Contact Points (NCPs) of the European Union Framework Programme for Research and Innovation “Horizon Europe” and the Research and Training Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community (2021–2025), complementary to the Horizon Europe programme, related to the organization, conduct, participation in events and regularity of filling (updating) of information resources (IR).
The research involved the study of regulatory legal acts on the activities of NCPs and related financial support using general scientific (empirical) and general logical methods. Data analysis on the organization, conduct and participation in events by NCP representatives, provision of information support using IS was carried out using statistical methods, supplemented
by visualization, based on NCP reporting materials. Reporting was provided in a test mode in the NAUKA System within the framework of the developed NCP reporting module, for the study of which information and functional analysis (modeling) was applied.
According to the results of the research, proposals were formed for key performance indicators (KPIs) of NCP activities, indicators of their implementation, and the NCP reporting module. Within the framework of the KPIs, it is proposed to clarify the wording, structure and supplement
additional information, which should include consistent and detailed information on the data that must be submitted, the conditions under which they will be counted. Proposals for KPI performance indicators for future periods relate to quantitative and qualitative changes based
on the results of reporting and the information collected about the reporting period. In the NCP reporting module, it is proposed to: increase the volume of data to be collected, the options for choosing with the inclusion of open data, its multiplicity, distinguish the types of uploaded materials, ensure their connection with a separate record regarding the event, filling (updating) the IR, import data from other functional modules of the NAUKA system, in particular, the National Portal of International Scientific and Technical Cooperation, external information systems, implement approval of the sufficiency of confirmation materials, make functional changes to the calculation of KPIs, adapt the methods of assessing the implementation of KPIs, and include a rating component.
