Overview of profiles in ACRIS

ACRIS accounts for staff members in academic and research-related posts are set up automatically.

Other staff members, such as support staff, may request ACRIS accounts by emailing [email protected].

Most information entered in your ACRIS profile is publicly available on the web portal http://research.aalto.fi/. 

All information displayed on the public portal is added and edited on the internal backend side of ACRIS: https://acris.aalto.fi (Log in with your Aalto credentials).

Logging into ACRIS for the first time

Upon first logging into ACRIS, you will see your Personal Overview page. Your profile overview presents your content in ACRIS and updates dynamically as you add or remove content. You can also click on items to view details about a specific piece of content.

Your profile contains personal information synchronized from the University's HR or student systems, as well as editable sections for additional information.

Please note! The backend personal profile is not the same as the public profile on the public portal. Some information is not shown on the public portal and is only visible to you or your trusted users in the internal backend side of ACRIS.

Personal overview components (dependent on your research activity):

1. Profile Information: Displays your primary information, including a direct link to your personal profile page on the public portal (https://research.aalto.fi). To update profile information, click 'Edit profile'.
