How to access ACRIS
Who can access ACRIS
ACRIS is a key tool for making Aalto University’s research activities visible. The system is available to all academic staff and those involved in research, as well as doctoral students.
An ACRIS account and profile are automatically created for individuals in these groups, based on information synchronized from HR and student information systems. Through your profile, you can manage and update your personal information and linked content, such as publications, projects, and professional activities. Keeping your profile up to date helps ensure that your research is accurately represented both within Aalto and to the outside world.
Access rights are determined by valid employment contracts or study rights. If you are part of support staff and require access to ACRIS, please send a request to acris@aalto.fi.
As a web-based system, ACRIS can be used anytime, anywhere. Its public is open to everyone, serving as a valuable platform for sharing research with a broader audience.
