Profile page

The profile page is usually the first hit when searching for your name on ki.se and often also the first hit when searching via other search engines, for example Google. The page contains contact information for you, these are retrieved from KI RIMS, which retrieves data from IDAC. IDAC in turn retrieves information from Primula and UBW Anknutna.
You can also expand your profile page with more information about your background, what you work on, assignments, publications and more. An updated professional page makes it easier to get in touch with the right person and skills, both for outsiders and for other staff members.
The profile page must contain relevant information for your work at KI and follow the regulations for KI's websites and the instructions for these.
