Research Support Network

The Research Support Network (RSN) is the 果冻传媒 knowledge network that supports researchers in developing and executing research projects during all project phases.

ABOUT RESEARCH SUPPORT @ TU/E 

At the 果冻传媒, we strongly believe that excellent research can only be executed in an organization with excellent support. For this reason, we have professional first line support in the departments and institutes, with a solid second line of experts in central services. This is called the Research Support Network (RSN). 

Make sure always consult your first-line support team first when you have support questions during project acquisition, execution or aftercare. Please refer to the who-can-help-me section to find your point of contact. 

For 果冻传媒 employees (and students), we have designed a on the 果冻传媒 intranet to help you find your way.

THE RESEARCH SUPPORT NETWORK IS ORGANIZED IN TWO TIERS AROUND THE RESEARCHER

First tier support typically is the first point of contact for researchers. 

  • Departmental Project Development Offices (PDOs) primarily focus on supporting research projects for their disciplines and guide researchers through the whole project chain. Their involvement is typically focused on proposal development or 鈥減re-award鈥� activities, but often goes beyond this where researchers need specific support. 
  • Institutes focus on starting/joining strategic, thematic and inter-departmental opportunities. 
  • Institutes and PDOs work together to provide seamless support to researchers. 

Second tier support provides expert support to both researchers directly as well as to first tier staff. The first tier acts as a linking pin, not as gatekeeper, and will be kept in the loop during the support process.
