DATA Collection Analysis & Visualization

Research intelligence, the ability to gather, analyse, and interpret information for research purposes, is as an essential tool for prioritisation in academic planning. Research intelligence involves information retrieval, trends evaluation, data analysis and visualisation, challenges-solving orientation, research design, and effective communication.

Research intelligence enables scientists to understand public research policy better, navigate a vast amount of data to meaningful insights, and contribute to policymaking, knowledge creation, and innovation to benefit society. 

Advanced Research Information Management Systems (RIMS) are needed and implemented by universities as technology-based information solutions to link the various components of complex research ecosystems. PURE is one of the most advanced RIMS used worldwide.

KAUST Academic Reviews and Planning manages PURE at KAUST. PURE enables our university to consolidate information on a single platform to efficiently run advanced reports covering insights, trends, and strengths to support decision-making. Research intelligence is a core service for strategic planning and to accelerate impact.

With PURE, KAUST makes its researchers, expertise, and specialized equipment more discoverable - internally and externally. Making researchers’ and Divisions’ profiles searchable helps KAUST build stronger collaborative networks on campus and with other institutions in the Kingdom, in the region, and globally.
