Funding Platform

The Funding Platform is a digital tool developed internally by Tech Research Support to streamline and ease the funding processes across Technical Sciences. The platform will lay the foundation for pre-award support at TECH, beginning in 2027. At its core, the platform will improve internal application budget approval workflows.

Why are we developing it?

Funding increasingly comes from external funders, which challenges our current workflows in many ways. Researchers have to write more and better applications to stay competitive, but the data insight is not there to best support them. The administrations also lack proper tools to get the overview of what's happening at their department, so they can reach out proactively to support in time, instead of being reactive always. And finally, management relies on statistics and business intelligence to stay informed of the broad movements of our funding, which in turn relies on data with integrity. 

By collecting everything pre-award in one digital tool, we can solve these problems.

When will it launch?

We're starting with AGRO, early in 2027, and our ambition is to have the platform in use across all of TECH before the end of 2027.
