ArODES HES-SO is the Open Archive of the faculties of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO).

Initiated in 2015 under the impetus of the Business, Management and Services faculty, it was then extended to all HES-SO faculties in 2017.

The objectives of ArODES are the following :

The HES-SO Scientific Information Center (CISO) is in charge of ArODES and makes sure the data recorded by the various actors of the HES-SO libraries are consistent.

The HES-SO network staff can connect to ArODES with their SWITCH edu-ID login in order to access publications which distribution is otherwise restricted due to copyright. People external to the HES-SO cannot create an account or consult documents whose copyright does not permit their public distribution.

For any question about ArDOES, please contact the CISO via arodes@hes-so.ch.
