Graph

Graph is ResearchArk's research intelligence platform, accessible at researchark.eu/graph. It combines an AI-powered answering engine with structured data browsing across the European and international research landscape. Graph provides both conversational AI access and traditional browsing interfaces for navigating the relationships between projects, organizations, funding schemes, and research outputs.

Navigation

Graph is organized into nine sections, grouped by data scope:

Data Sources

Graph draws from multiple authoritative sources to build a cross-linked picture of the research ecosystem:

• CORDIS (Community Research and Development Information Service) -- The primary source, covering EU-funded research projects from Framework Programme 1 through Horizon Europe. Includes project metadata, participant lists, budgets, topic classifications, publications, and deliverables.
• KOHESIO -- EU Cohesion Policy project data with over 2 million operations, covering regional development and structural fund investments. Includes operational programmes, fund distribution, beneficiaries, and regional breakdowns.
• INTERREG -- Cross-border, transnational, and interregional cooperation programme data. Browsable by projects, countries, themes, programmes, and partners.
• ERA-LEARN -- European Partnership initiatives including joint programming, co-funded research activities, calls, and participating organizations.
• International sources -- Selected datasets from non-EU funding bodies across Spain, Ireland, Sweden, the UK, and the US. Organized by countries, funders, organizations, programs, grants, people, and outputs.

These datasets are cross-linked within the graph, enabling you to trace connections that span programme boundaries.

How the Data Connects

Behind the scenes, Graph brings together four complementary ways of finding and relating information:

• Connected relationships -- A knowledge graph links related entities such as projects, organizations, framework programmes, topics, countries, funding schemes, publications, deliverables, and Cohesion Policy operations and beneficiaries, so you can trace how they connect.
• Structured search and filtering -- Fast keyword search, filtering, sorting, and aggregation over the structured records behind every browse page.
• AI-powered semantic search -- Finds conceptually related content even when the wording differs from your query, so a search for one idea surfaces closely related results.
• AI answering -- AI models read the matching information and generate a clear, streaming answer, including inline charts, tables, and statistics.

When you query the Explorer, all of these run together. The AI combines exact matches, conceptually related results, connected relationships, and aggregated statistics into a single coherent answer.

Key Capabilities

• AI-powered research answers -- Ask natural-language questions and receive streaming responses with source indicators, inline charts, tables, and statistics.
• Structured data browsing -- Browse projects, organizations, topics, and funding schemes with filters, search, sorting, and pagination.
• Stakeholder dashboards -- Purpose-built analytics views for researchers, institutions, businesses, and funders, each surfacing the metrics most relevant to that audience.
• Cross-dataset exploration -- Navigate between EU CORDIS, Cohesion Policy, and international funding data through a unified interface.
• Progressive loading -- Dashboard components load independently with skeleton screens, so fast data sources appear immediately while slower queries complete in the background.
