Update Profile and CV

Your profile is created when you have a first login to the LUT Research Portal. The personal information and business cards (active and ended working contracts) are updated from the HR system once a night. The cards reflect the working history you have in LUT. You may update or add items shown in the Key information tab, Research Profile tab or in the Business cards tab. Not all of these information is shown at the public portal and not all of these are editable. Some of these fields are shown also in the public www.lut.fi pages.
