Market consultation for a research management tool for externally funded research projects
Universiteit Leiden is conducting a second market consultation for a research management tool focused on externally funded research projects. The objective is to obtain a robust, scalable software package that supports project planning, budget management, time tracking, collaboration, and reporting, and meets the requirements of various external funders (such as NWO, EU, private foundations). The tool must integrate with existing systems (e.g., ERP, HRM, digital libraries), provide a user-friendly interface for researchers, project managers, and administrative staff, and comply with strict security and privacy standards (GDPR, ISO 27001). Additionally, a modular design is required so that the tool can be expanded with extra functionalities (e.g., data analysis, knowledge sharing). The University emphasizes a transparent procurement process, providing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a good opportunity to participate.
