Information Resources and Archives Department (UNIRIS)
The mission of the Information Resources and Archives Department (UNIRIS) is to develop UNIL's information governance. It is responsible for document monitoring and managing the information assets produced within the institution, from creation to archiving, regardless of the medium and nature of the information.

Mission
Information governance ensures that the various members of the University and the public have access, in complete confidence, to information that is useful for their work or research, at the right time, in a usable form and in compliance with the statutory and ethical framework in force. It makes it possible to:
- Keep a reliable and enforceable record of the institution's commitments and decisions.
- Improve efficiency by rationalising costs and controlling risk management.
- Guarantee the quality, authenticity and integrity of information, thanks to knowledge capitalisation and a well thought-out organisational structure.
- Enhance the value of the work it carries out and ensure its long-term viability.
UNIRIS covers the technical, organisational and human aspects of producing, using, sharing, securing, capitalising on and preserving documents and data, i.e. the entire life cycle of information produced and received within the University.

Ethics and commitments
In order to fulfil its mission and offer high-quality services, while establishing a relationship of trust with service users, UNIRIS has adopted a code of ethics and commitments inspired by the code of the International Council on Archives.
The purpose of this document is to provide strict, clear and precise rules of conduct, with the aim of providing the best possible response to users' questions. It provides an ethical framework of conduct for the entire department and its staff.
The code is in line with the behavioural guidance set out in the UNIL Charter and in the values and priorities of the Rectorate in its various statements of intent and strategic plans.
