User Payment

Payment of the administrative fees is made by allotted administration funds for the approved project.  The project principal investigator TEK can determine a tailor-made service that is required for the project. This can be written in the budget as administrative costs to TEK Innovation for example 1-4 months per year, or lead on an administrative or communication package or both. It is based on the individual needs of the researcher, thus reducing the administrative burden creating more time for research

We recommend you contact us when a new project is funded, so we can work on all levels within the faculty’s various areas of operation
