The Aalto University Data Hub makes research data easier to find and promotes the reuse of costly datasets. Whether you are a student searching for data to start writing your thesis or a senior researcher with a long-established research field, the Data Hub can be of use to you.

Our catalogue of data sources (data sets, databases, vendors, repositories, and other data providers) contains information about data resources, which are available for students and researchers, covering many research fields related to Aalto's six schools. You may very likely come across data which you were not aware even existed.

Additionally, our dedicated staff offers supporting data-related services - we are here to help you obtain access to and get started with new data.
