The team for externally funded research is headed by Erlendur Helgason, PhD, and provides administrative support to researchers, departments and research centres in all phases of the application process. The Research Administration Office enters into research contracts on behalf of BI and must therefore be involved in all applications for external funding and all contract processes with research partners and sub-contractors. Collectively, the team has many years’ experience in both research and research administration, as well as experience working internationally, including with EU institutions.
