Aalto University is a multidisciplinary public research university in Espoo, Finland, formed in 2010 from the merger of three institutions and ranked #113 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer footprint is modest and mostly research- or open-data-oriented: an authentication-gated Aalto API Gateway (3scale) exposing course/student information system APIs such as the Open Courses (SISU) API, a Linked Open Aalto Data service offering a public SPARQL endpoint, and the Aaltodoc institutional repository (DSpace) with public OAI-PMH and REST access. Active open-source development is published primarily through the AaltoSciComp GitHub organization.
