We introduce an adaptable domain-specific infrastructure for dissemination of heterogeneous outcomes (e.g. publications) from thematic complementary and related projects. Our aim is to enhance the visibility of thematically related research information and to face obstacles from both sides: needs from information users and information providers. Users are confronted with finding sources for relevant information, handling with heterogeneous information display, varying information granularity on different sources, extracting and compiling the informations found whereas information providers have costs for implementing and maintaining such an infrastructure from scratch, limit or omit coupling with different related sources and offer information partly in an interconnected manner. The contributions of this paper include a model closely related to the CERIF standard and a technical infrastructure ready to reuse to set up a research information system for a new research topic. We created a reference portal on the topic “Governance in the EU”.
