Supporting research projects

Financial management

Ongoing project monitoring (comparison of budget figures with actual figures) guarantees that research projects are successfully implemented within budget. The Grants Office supports this process through constant project controlling and prepares all financial reports in accordance with the guidelines of funding organizations. As part of project completion, the Grants Office initiates the necessary internal accounting measures, such as cost centre closures, repayments, etc.

    Administrative management

    All third-party funded projects approved by ZHdK must adhere to the university’s processes and procedures as well as to cantonal guidelines. The Grants Office has a thorough knowledge of all ZHdK administrative guidelines and those of the funding organizations that need to be applied in connection with research projects funded by third parties. It also ascertains which other internal departments at ZHdK need to be consulted in order for the project to be carried out successfully.
