Profile page
All staff members at KI, employees as well as affiliates, have their own profile page on the Karolinska Institutet website. The information on your profile page is retrieved from KI RIMS. On this page you will find instructions on how to update your profile page with more information about you.
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.
Instructions and support
Updates are often retrieved
ki.se automatically retrieves information from KI RIMS when it is changed there. Due to cache-times between all the systems involved, it can take up to an hour before your changes are visible on ki.se.
Language
The profile page is available in both Swedish and English. If there is no Swedish information entered in KI RIMS, the English information is retrieved instead.
This means that some entries will mix Swedish and English information - for example in your CV.
Address of the page (URL)
English address: ki.se/en/people/firstname-surname

I don't have a profile page - why?
If you have just started at KI, you will have an account in KI RIMS the day after your KI account is created.
After that, information is forwarded to ki.se.
If it's been many days since you started and you still don't have a profile page, it could be due to privacy settings in IDAC - check with your IDAC administrator.
What happens if I leave KI?
When your employment or affiliation has ended, your profile page on ki.se also disappears.
