Publication of e-Learning external access-only website: el2.riken.jp

Due to the unauthorized access to our e-learning service last fall, we had restricted communication so that no one from outside RIKEN could connect to our e-learning service. 

We have now prepared a server, el2.riken.jp, exclusively for external access.

　　　　Publication Date of “el2.riken.jp” : Monday, May 2, 9:00 a.m. –

Users who have registered a local account can access this server.
The following are eligible for registration.
1) Those who do not have a RIKEN ID (e.g., outside contractors)
2) RIKEN ID holders who do not have a VPN connection (for those whose system user classification is “Guest,” such as visiting scientists, trainees)
3) RIKEN ID holders who do not use the RIKEN network (for those whose system user classification is “Guest,” such as visiting scientists, trainees)

1) to 3) are intended for those who cannot access the conventional e-learning el.riken.jp.
RIKEN ID holders who can use the RIKEN network should continue to attend at el.riken.jp.

If you want to use a local account, please ask a full-time staff member in your lab/office to register as a user. Registration instructions are available on the Intranet page.

Research Achievement Registration System (RARS) upgrades

We will be making some upgrades to RARS to improve its performance and make it more convenient for our userbase. We will implement these upgrades on Monday, February 28, 2022, from 10:00 to 17:00. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause as you will not be able to use RARS during this maintenance window. We also ask for your understanding and cooperation in ensuring the smooth and accurate registration of research results.

The main upgrades are as follows.

◆Changes related to achievement input

• Once you decide on an achievement type, you will be now able to save it temporarily.
• We have added DBLP as an external database to be used as a reference for achievement input.

◆Changes for registration components

• We have added components such as conference URL links for conference presentation achievements and chapters and pages for/when registering books.

◆Changes for achievement outputs

• We have removed the limit of 50 maximum searches.

After presenting/publishing your research results, you are required to report them to RIKEN ASAP.
If you have any research results published in FY 2021 that you have not yet registered, please register these from the links below.
