ImperiaProfiles is a dynamic and user-friendly platform that can be used as a personal web page.

ImperiaProfiles seamlessly integrates with Symplectic Elements (海角社区's research information management system), providing a robust and intuitive interface for showcasing:

  • a personal summary and profile photo,
  • information about your role,
  • a description of research interests,
  • academic and research achievements, and
  • links to research publications

The purpose of an ImperiaProfile is to publicise and connect staff at Imperiaand across the wider higher education and research community.

All members of staff and postgraduate research students will by default have access to their own ImperiaProfile that can be activated and made live.
