In order to perform your research, you often need to secure internal or external funding. Funding can be sought at the national and international levels through various means such as calls for proposals, scholarships, and donations. To assist you in the process, there is operational support with expertise in funding matters.

As a researcher, you can receive funding from private actors, for example, private individuals, companies, and foundations, by conceptualising research projects and developing strategies for contact creation.
When signing a contract or an agreement for a project, employment, or funding, there are matters to consider beforehand. Depending on the nature of the issues, support is found at RSO or the finance unit at your school.
