The object of the contract is the hiring of a pool of hours of IT services intended for the development of new features related to the management of research at the University of Barcelona (UB). The University of Barcelona has a set of internally developed applications for managing research grouped under the name SIRA. Currently, SIRA is operational at both the UB and the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) and its upcoming implementation in other institutions is planned. On the other hand, the University of Barcelona is carrying out a significant review of the Academic Dedication Plan (PDA), which involves substantial modifications to SIRA to expand the evaluation process of research and also include the evaluation of Teaching Innovation and Dissemination.
