The Research Activity System (RAS) is the University’s research outputs administration system, and supports the collection, review and reporting of research performance data.
Data is collected on an annual basis and validated by Research Services. This data is subsequently used for both internal and external reporting requirements.
The Research Activity System (RAS) is accessible by both Staff and Students. RAS can be accessed from the ECU Portal.
Log in to the Staff or Student Portal, and then navigate to the ‘Easy Logins’ menu of the left-hand side of the screen.
Selecting ‘Research Activity System’ from the menu will take you to the RAS homepage.
Our training web page provides information on training materials and sessions, including brief training videos on how to complete tasks within the Research Activity System (RAS).
For guidance with using RAS and associated processes, please contact the Research Performance Information Officer at researchsystemssupport@ecu.edu.au.
The RAS Step-by-Step User Guide, which provides instructions on entering research outputs, is also available.
