Do you know where to look for digital reproductions of works of art, photography or design, or high quality images of architecture, materials or science to support studies and research? Are you looking for archived visual materials related to the activities, studies and research at Aalto University?

The VRC service helps to find and use high quality, authentic and current visual information sources from a variety of subjects. The VRC offers free visual resources training open for all Aalto University students, researchers and staff including advice on image copyright issues and Creative Commons licenses.

New visual resources and events are advertised in this resource guide and Facebook. We can help you find the images and media resources you need, contact us oppimiskeskus@aalto.fi

Edit, produce and exhibit your media material

VRC space on the first floor of the Learning Centre is a dedicated working space for activities such as image, video and audio editing, self service scanning, working with print, web or digital media, and watching and borrowing DVDs from the Learning Centre collection. The space can be used for working alone or in small groups. Log in to the workstations with your personal Aalto username and password.

Customers are expected to have basic skills in the available software and equipment. There is also exhibition space for showcasing your physical or digital projects.
