CORDIS introduces RAPIDUS (RAPId Delivery of Updates on Search-profiles), a new feature on its Web site, designed to save users valuable time. With the new RAPIDUS service, users can now save their database search-profiles and be automatically informed about new information in the CORDIS databases which match their search criteria. According to the search profiles that have been saved, RAPIDUS automatically notifies users of such items as: - New funding opportunities; - Recent calls for tender; - Recently launched projects; - New technology offers; - Partnership requests; - Updated programme information and much more; Thereby allowing the user to spend valuable time on other activities. With RAPIDUS, users now have the ability to: - SAVE DATABASE SEARCH-PROFILES By saving any of their CORDIS database search-profiles, users do not have to continuously enter the same information. RAPIDUS allows them to create and save their personal search-profile by: . Entering their search-profile on a standard search screen; . Saving their search-profile once they're satisfied with their search results; . Registering to obtain a username and password; . Logging on to RAPIDUS with their username and password; . Giving a name and brief description to their search-profile. This search-profile will then be added to their customised search-profile list. - RECEIVE UPDATES AUTOMATICALLY Users will have the extra benefit of automatically receiving updates, which match their search-profile(s). These updates will be sent to them via e-mail, whenever there is an update to the CORDIS databases. - MANAGE A CUSTOMISED SEARCH-PROFILE LIST There is no limit to the number of search-profiles users can now save. They may modify or delete profiles from their list, anytime they choose by simply logging-on. RAPIDUS, a time-saving feature, is the first in a series of new enhancements that CORDIS is introducing to meet users' needs.
