  RIS4CIVIS WP1 Benchmarking Report 
===================================

- Research &amp; Innovation

- Report

- Researchers

 The present report aims at providing an overview of the work carried out in the 6 Modules part of the RIS4CIVIS project. In particular, it will analyse the activities that took place during the first 6 months of RIS4CIVIS.

This work is summarised in the Work Package 1 (WP1). The purpose of WP1 is to enable all Modules to achieve a common, joint and comprehensive understanding of the legal, regulatory, political, financial, procedural, systemic or other situation in relation to their respective topics, taking into consideration factors that are both internal to each University as well as circumstances that are external to each University.

**The Objectives of WP1 are:**

To create a shared basis for consensus-building, by establishing an atlas, inventory or overview of:

- The current practices within each CIVIS Alliance member with respect to each of the Transformational Modules,
- The National situations (legal, political, funding) affecting each Alliance member with respect to each of the Transformational Modules.

In this report, the conclusions drawn, and the proposals developed originate from each module and constitute the basis for further consideration. The six RIS4CIVIS Modules are analysed in order to compile a benchmarking analysis to be used as a baseline for the implementation of the Consensus Building phase (WP2) to follow.
