General process for signatures by Head of Department

  • All digital signatures must be sent directly in EdusignNo emails with pdf attachments. See instructions below how to send via Edusign.
     
  • Manual signatures: send the document to the Department administrator or put in the Head of Department mailbox on the floor 8.
    (For research collaboration agreements, see details regarding signatures further below.)


Please note! Manual and digital signatures must not be mixed. Choose one or the other.

Signatures in research collaborations

Documents must be correctly titled according to the following definition:

Avtal/Agreement = collaboration/assignment with a party outside the state.
Överenskommelse = collaborations within KI and with other government agencies.


Routine

  1. Research group leaders are responsible for deciding whether an agreement needs legal review.
     
  2. For legal review or advice, send an e-mail to avtal@ki.se.
     
  3. If a legal review is needed, complete the document in its final version after the review (ie clear comments and changes).
     
  4. All agreements must be approved by the Head of Division before signature from the Head of Department.
     
  5. In the case of manual signature, hand over the agreement to the Head of Department support who will make sure the Head of Department signs.
     
  6. In the case of a digital signature, send via EduSign; first to the Head of Division and then to the Head of the Department. See instructions further down.
     

Signature from Head of Department in conjunction with the University Director

In KI:s delegation (only in Swedish) there is information on the conditions under which the Head of Department signs himself or in conjunction with the University Director.

- Swedish grant agreements up to SEK 500,000 may be signed by the Head of Department himself if the agreement period is a maximum of 3 years.

Agreement on commissioned research

Commissioned research is when KI carries out research on behalf of another party.
