Help us accelerate scientific progress. This is the mission of Atmire. As a
highly skilled team, we implement portals that make major academic and
professional institutions research available to the world. Our solutions are
based on the popular open source software, DSpace, a community-led platform,
which Atmire invests in as a registered service provider and a primary open
source contributor.
Take the COVID-19 crisis as an example. Thanks to the DSpace software and
Atmire services, the World Health Organization makes COVID-19 resources
available to the world in their DSpace installation, "IRIS". Millions of
resources are downloaded from this site alone, every month. And this is just
one of Atmire's clients.
