Setting off on your IRIS adventure

With all great adventures, it is good to have some guides. The guidelines below are intended to let you know what is expected from researchers if they are to receive funding to participate in the IRIS project.

The prerequisite for receiving IRIS project financing is that your project involves cross-ITM-School collaboration - and with all great adventures it is good to be prepared by shaping a project plan.

Guidelines for setting off on your IRIS Research venture are:

  • Recognise that a prerequisite for IRIS funding is cross-ITM-School collaboration
  • Discuss your project idea with researchers from other departments in the ITM School
  • Listen to others so that your idea gets improved, adapted and shaped so that it can be a collaborative venture
  • Together with researchers from other departments, jointly develop a project plan (see this template), where that plan provides information about the project’s problem definition, aims, objectives, tasks, KPIs as well as time plan
  • Explain, within such project plans, the contribution of each of the departments/academic disciplines involved i.e. what your project means by interdisciplinarity
  • Request a project plan review meeting with coordinators from a relevant area
  • Request a meeting with your respective prefects to review the project plan and discuss funding

Then join the IRIS Community
