Project Management Office

The expert staff of the Project Management Office provides the necessary support to Kadir Has University academicians in the preparation of project budgets during the project development phase and in the spending processes of ongoing project budgets. Experts in the office who deal with national and international projects carry out the processes in coordination with both academicians and other administrative units, especially Finance. All administrative activities, from contracts to financial reports, from purchases to inter-institutional correspondence, from scholarship payments to Individual Research Fund (BAF) and Seed Fund follow-up, are implemented by our experts.

Each research support program and project type has its own financial and administrative procedures and rules.
