Projects in Haris

What projects should be registered?

You can add all types of projects to Haris, ranging from large, funded, long-term projects to smaller, internal, short-term projects or PhD projects. Properly submitting project information and linking it to related content helps provide a context, making the project easier to present and communicate comprehensively.

Who should submit projects?

All Hanken researchers who participate in a project can add their projects to Haris. Check that the project is not already added in Haris if there are other Hanken affiliated persons participating. Basic project information is submitted in the Projects content type. For funded projects, funding information is added in the Award content type.

Follow-up on project submissions

The library follows up on projects, based on information from the research funding team and project controllers. The library checks if a funded project is added to both the Projects and Awards content types and linked together. If a funded project is not submitted, the library adds basic information about the project and contacts a project participant to check and complement the submissions. When a project ends, the library may contact a project participant to remind them about linking related content to the project.

Visibility of projects

When logged in to Haris, the projects are displayed in the editor on a timeline with symbols indicating related content. Projects are shown in Haris public portal under Projects and in the personal profile. Note that there must be a Project submission for the project to be displayed in the portal. An Award entry only will not make the submission visible. 

The default visibility setting for Projects and Awards templates is Public – no restriction. This can be changed to restricted, if necessary. Visibility settings can be changed during and after the project. However, if the project is publicly funded and funding information is made available by the funder, it is recommended not to restrict the visibility.

Register a project in the Projects template

Start with adding a submission in the Projects content type. This is where to add the basic information about the project. For a funded project, also add information about the funding (funders, amounts etc.) in the Award content type (see below). Finally, connect the Project and the Award submission. Note that there must be a Project submission for the project to be visible in the Haris portal. An Award submission only will not be shown in the portal.

  • Title*: Add title, also add short title and acronym if used. Use the same titles as the corresponding submission in Projects, if relevant.
  • Description: If the same description is relevant here as in the corresponding submission in Projects, it does not need to be added.
  • Participants*: Add internal and external participants and their affiliations. Choose appropriate roles for each participant. For PhD projects, the supervisor's namne can be included.
  • Project managed by: The managing organizational unit is added by default based on the internal participant.
  • Collaborative partners*: Add collaborative partners (e.g., universities, companies). Mark one organization as lead collaborator and set roles (joint applicant or project partner). If not a collaborative project, click No.
  • Funding*: Add the funding organization* and awarded amount*. If the project is funded by several funders, click Add funding to add each funder separately.
    The default visibility setting for funding is Public no restriction but can be changed to restricted visibility. If the project is publicly funded and funding information is publicly available by the funders, it is recommended not to restrict the visibility.

Edit a project or award

You can add or edit a Project or Award submission during and after the project period. Also remember to connect related content to the Project submission. Relations can be created well after the project's end date, for example linking to research outputs published after the project is finished.
