You can receive support and help from the library with, among other things, information seeking and support in the publishing process. The university's Grants and Innovation Office (GIO) can help you to find the right sponsor for your research and can provide you with support and advice when you write applications, during the course of your project, and even with reporting obligations at the end. GIO can help you protect your knowledge assets and find ways to go further with your research results. You will also find the entire Doctoral Student Handbook under Research support.
