Together with the research centers and other university institutions, the Research Support Department forms the service structure for researchers.
After the grant is approved or the contract is signed, the Finance Department will take over the management of the funds according to budgetary and bookkeeping laws. However, the Research Support Department remains the central contact point throughout the whole project, especially in the case of problems or particular aspects.
The Research Support Department supports the university management, especially the Vice President for Research, in successfully implementing the university's research strategy, as well as in higher-level research issues and projects.
