Accessing Minerva

To access the Minerva database, you will need a HESA Identity System account.

The Identity System (IDS) is a single-sign-on system for all of our web applications. This means that you only need one account and then you can access all of the systems which you need access to (including the Data Collection system and Minerva).  

To access the Minerva database, you will need to have the Query role for the relevant stream in the Identity System. The Record Contact at your provider will be able to grant this access. 

More information about registering for an Identity System account and requesting roles can be found in our IDS user guide.

Forgotten / changing your password

Access to Minerva is governed by our Identity System (IDS), and you can reset your password and update your details through that system. Support with this process can be found in our IDS User Guide.
