Research Support at KI departments

Administration at your department can help you with budget development, economic management and reporting. Your department also works together with other units at KI, and can guide you to the relevant expertise when needed.

Contact your department

  • The Head of Department and in some cases the Head of Administration should review the contract and decide if the contract also needs to be reviewed by the Legal unit
  • Each research contract requires a person to be responsible for coordinating the process
  • This person can be the PI or in some cases a specifically appointed person/function at the department - always contact your department administration to identify the responsible person

Together with the Head of a department, the Head of Research Support Office makes decisions for:

  • Funding agreements and applications to the EU, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other foreign donors
  • Cooperation agreements with other grant recipients, possible additions and changes to existing applications and agreements
  • Related reports and system registrations for these contributors
