Atmire's mission is to increase the speed of scientific progress world wide by simplifying online access to scientific outcomes and publications.

How does Atmire accelerate science?

Atmire assists academic institutions, government agencies, international non-profits and corporations by exposing their digital output as wide as possible.

A vast amount of code Atmire writes in projects flows back upstream to the Open Source DSpace platform. This makes institutional repositories also viable for less fortunate institutions and individuals.
