LaCRIS is the research portal at the University of Lapland. It gathers and makes available information on the scientific and artistic activities of the University. LaCRIS offers the opportunity for people affiliated in the University of Lapland to highlight their own activities and expertise. It is easy to maintain your own profile and, for example, a list of publications through the portal. Data on research outputs are also updated on the national Research.fi service.
You can find instructions for using LaCRIS in this guide. The LaCRIS team will answer your questions and provide guidance at lacris@ulapland.fi. You can also order LACRIS training for your unit or group from this address.

The public research portal is open for anyone, but only part of personal data is visible in the portal. The visibility of all items in the system can be set to be public or available only in the backend system.
