A planned upgrade to the Bournemouth Research Information And Networking (BRIAN) system will take place this week on Thursday 5 and Friday 6 February, during which it will be unavailable.
Please plan your BRIAN usage accordingly to take this period into account.
BRIAN is expected to be fully accessible again by Monday 9 February 2026. While the system’s functionality will remain unchanged following the upgrade, users will notice an updated layout and appearance, including a new sidebar navigation.
For any BRIAN-related queries, please contact BRIAN@bournemouth.ac.uk.
BRIAN upgrade feature – customising your homepage
BRIAN will be unavailable for use next week
