UCL Profiles / IRIS (Symplectic Elements tenancy)

UCL Profiles is UCL's public research-information and researcher-profile directory, successor to the IRIS research portal (iris.ucl.ac.uk now redirects to it). It is a Symplectic Elements Discovery tenancy: profiles.ucl.ac.uk CNAMEs to ucl.discovery.symplectic.org. The publication, grant and researcher records are UCL's; the platform, the data model and any API surface belong to Symplectic (Digital Science). No institution-operated contract is published for it, and no Symplectic contract is saved under UCL.
