King's Digital Lab

Guidelines for Project Partners

This questionnaire helps initiate a collaboration with King's Digital Lab (KDL).

Depending on whether you are exploring the opportunity to include digital outputs as part of your research or have already a developed idea to do so, and at what stage you are of the funding process, answering the following set of questions will inform the KDL team on how to better assess our involvement.

The more information you are able to provide, the better. This will allow KDL to move more quickly from initial contact to producing a quote.

We welcome early conversations about potential projects and KDL can assist in exploring answers to questions you leave blank.

KDL can also be involved with research projects in other ways, e.g. providing expert advice or running workshops on digital methods.

KDL operates as a TRAC Facility. Our daily rate for research projects ranges between £800 and £1,000.

Being based in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at King’s College London or planning to involve as co-lead in your project someone based in the Faculty will affect the rate at which KDL will be costed for this collaboration. The rate is lower for leads/co-leads based in in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities (which can include a KDL member), while it is higher if you are based in another Faculty or at an external institution.

VAT could be applicable, depending on the nature of our collaboration.
