Atira A/S is the maker of Pure, a Current Research Information System, or CRIS, which is used by universities and other research institutions for research management in a broad sense by many different stakeholders; e.g., researchers, departmental managers, PIs, and top level management. Pure integrates research profiles, outputs, organisational units, projects, project costing, and project funding data, and it provides an overview with drill-down options to stakeholders at different levels. Pure also supports returns to surveys and assessment programmes such as REF, OOCP, HESA and others, and it helps increase the visibility of institutions and their outputs and academics. Pure is currently in production at a number of UK universities.

Knowinnovation is a consultancy firm based in Cambridge UK and operating throughout the world. We're curious about creativity and all the things that go hand-in-hand with innovation-problem solving, leadership, managing change, research and technology.
We like to collect people in a room and surprise them with their own ingenuity. Though we have a special place in our hearts for flip charts and post-its, we love technology and lead rich virtual lives. We've designed and developed a number of intriguing ways to interact and invent using every kind of method: high touch and high tech.
Knowinnovation has been involved with the design, and facilitation, of academic innovation workshops for the last eight years, which has given us a tremendous opportunity to refine how we help universities and organizations accelerate scientific (and other) innovation.
