TUHTI-system was set up in 1995-1996 and it uses modern web technology in dissemination of research information. Web technology makes it possible to provide good links between the different parts of TUHTI-system: the databases of research projects, publications and experts, e-mail, home pages. TUHTI is available free of charge via Internet (http://www.helsinki.fi/tuhti/).

TUHTI-system is multilingual since it serves both national and international needs. User interfaces are provided in Finnish, Swedish and English. TUHTI research project database follows CERIF- recommendations concerning set of fields.
In the future other systems will be linked to the TUHTI-system. Web technology may be used also in gathering information to the system. Helsinki University is also interested in co-operating both nationally and internationally in developing research database systems.
