ACRIS data used for reporting to Ministry of Education

This year is the first year that the data is collected through the new research information system, ACRIS (acris.aalto.fi).

The Ministry of Education financing (up to 13%) depends on the number and quality of our publications. Thus, it is imperative that all relevant research results are available in the ACRIS database. Please make sure that your own data is up to date.

In the future, the data in ACRIS is used also in Aalto’s internal evaluations, for example, in tenure and promotion reviews. It’s thus worth your while to keep your profile updated concerning all your activities.

Data needed for reporting purposes and how you can add data in ACRIS:

1.     Publications and artistic outputs (Add new -> Research output)
2.     Visits abroad (Add new -> Activity -> External academic engagement -> Visit abroad)
