THE INRS PROJECT

The INRS Project aims to reinforce and enhance knowledge transfer between academia and business in European Union countries and to enable HEIs to provide increased and specialist information support to Research, Business and Innovation in the EU and in the regions that they serve.

This will be achieved by improving and increasing the level of competencies and skills of Information Specialist staff in the EU partner institutions in the project. INRS will enhance and build on the skills of staff in these universities, so as to strengthen their abilities to provide quality, relevant supports to business, researchers and local enterprise in the Regions.

The project will develop an Information Specialist (IS) staff development strategy focused on improving the standards, range and quality of library performance in providing support to business, entrepreneurship, innovation and research in the EU with particular focus on improving key transferable, lifelong learning skills.
