Online Databases

The Centre’s academic databases are search tools and information dissemination tools produced within or alongside its research programmes.

Creating our databases

Although databases are not set up for every research programme, they exist for subjects that involve high volumes of complex data and/or significant cross-referencing.

The Centre staff and research teams work together to decide the structure of the database, the fields and search options. Development is then carried out internally, entrusted to external service providers or partners of the Centre.

Content is added to the database from researchers’ work files or entered directly, either by the Research Centre teams or by researchers, at the centre or remotely.

The database goes live after scientific validation.

All of our databases are integrated into our online resources portal.
