==Organisation and legal basis==

[https://cordis.europa.eu/about/en CORDIS] is managed by the [[Publications Office of the European Union]], on behalf of the [[European Commission]]'s research Directorates-General and Agencies.

CORDIS was created in 1990 following a Communication of the Commissioncommission for the implementation of an RTD information service (SEC(1988)1831).

The legal basis and financing of CORDIS derive from the work programmes of [[Horizon 2020Europe]] Framework Programme for Research and Technological DevelopmentInnovation.

==Creation==

Line 59 ⟶ 54:

===Late 90s===

In 1997, Italian and Spanish editions brought the CORDIS focus offer up to five languages. Ireland was succeeded by The Netherlands and Luxembourg as Presidencypresidency countries and both published their presidency services on CORDIS. A new information monitoring service was launched - 'RAPIDUS - RAPId Delivery of Updates on Search-profiles'.

A pilot project was launched to offer CORDIS as a host for national and regional web services. By the end of the year, user registration no longer seemed so relevant as some 53,000 identified users accessed over 800,000 Web pages per month and downloaded nearly 40,000 documents. It had become clear that CORDIS was no longer a tool reserved for specialists, the spectacular growth in use initiated in 1996 had continued.
