What is OpenIRIS?

OpenIRIS is a platform designed to enhance the visibility and booking of research equipment and services. It enables the efficient use of scientific resources and facilitates cross-institutional access to devices. In the long term, OpenIRIS aims to serve as the central hub at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin for targeted searches of instruments, easing cross-institutional access to equipment and thereby strengthening research networking on campus.

Further information about OpenIRIS and its current implementation status at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin can be found on the Intranet.

Access to OpenIRIS

To access OpenIRIS and obtain information about available research equipment at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU), you need to log in to the HU-OpenIRIS Portal .

• HU members should use their official university contact details for login, as the visibility of certain devices is restricted to HU affiliates. Access is managed via the Shibboleth Single Sign-On system of HU and requires an HU user account.
• External users can log in with existing OpenIRIS credentials or create a new account. However, the visibility of providers and devices may be limited for external users.
