Research Department (SR)

The Research Department provides researchers with support throughout their research projects, working closely with the seven Faculties.


 

Overview

The Research Department helps ensure that researchers at UNIL enjoy optimal framework conditions for carrying out their research projects, while respecting disciplinary diversity. Its vision is to become a crucial player in providing guidance, finding solutions, developing shared solutions and circulating information on research resources and developments.

If you have any questions about funding opportunities, Open Access publication options or questions about ethics and interests, we are here to help. We coordinate the research support network and will be able to direct you to the right contacts for all your questions about your research projects.

Services

Funding

The Research Department, in collaboration with the research support staff of the seven Faculties, can help researchers find funding for their research projects and guide them through the pre-award, contracting, financial and reporting (post-award) processes.
