STARFOS makes Czech research data easier to search and explore.

Making complex research records easier to find and understand

STARFOS brings together detailed information about research projects carried out by universities, companies, public institutions and other organizations. The system records project funding, grants, participating subjects, research outputs and the relationships between them.

For TA ČR, we designed and developed the public-facing entry point of the platform as well as the search solution that allows users to explore the underlying data. The goal was to make a large and complex research database easier to navigate, whether someone is looking for a specific project, a research result or an organization involved in publicly funded innovation.

Each part of the platform supports a different research use case. Project details show funding, participants and project information. Research result pages make outputs easier to inspect and reference. Subject details help users understand who is involved in the Czech research ecosystem and how individual organizations connect to different projects.

The result is a clearer web environment for working with public research data, giving experts, institutions and the wider public access to information that would otherwise be difficult to search, compare and understand.
