The beginning of our efforts dates back to 2008, when the Digital Library of PAN Institutes was launched in July, whose continuation is the RCIN portal. The foundation of our activities is the Consortium Agreement from March 2nd 2010, updated on September 14th 2020, which defines not only the goals and principles of Consortium actions, but also assigns tasks to Partners and establishes principles of financing the maintenance of the RCIN platform by Partners in the long term. The agreement assumes indefinite operation of the RCIN platform.

Currently, the leading institution is the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, which represents RCIN externally. Another Consortium Partner, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center - PCSS https://www.pcss.pl/, which is an organizational unit for Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of Polish Academy of Sciences, is the designer of IT solutions for RCIN. PCSS provides technical infrastructure and ensures round-the-clock data security. Other Institutes, producers of data, providing content, are responsible for its quality and rules of sharing, taking care of compliance with current regulations. The General Assembly of Consortium Members, represented by Institute Directors, makes strategic decisions as needed. In order to fulfil current tasks, the Support Team has been established, consisting of experts experienced in digitization and scientific information, collection custodians and researchers - representatives of each Institute. The team supports both the leading institution and PCSS in their activities, as a result of which the platform is developed in response to the diagnosed needs of its users.
