Research permit
Do you need a research permit?
Research permit is a permission to approach an organization, its staff and students with a study project aimed at them. A research permit is required for all research, development projects and theses that are targeted at the staff or students at HAMK (e.g. surveys).
Applying for a research permit
HAMK’s research permit application form can be found behind the link: HAMK research permit application (.docx).
Research, thesis or project plan and data management plan must be enclosed with the application. If the research is meant to be done in a way that requires an ethical review, the ethical review must be enclosed with the permit application.
If personal data will be managed in the research, a privacy notice must also be enclosed with the application.
Filling out and sending the application
The person applying for the permit must always sign the permit application. The signed application will be scanned and emailed to tutkimusluvat@hamk.fi.
The application must be filled out so that it does not include confidential information.
Processing of applications in HAMK
When your application is received by HAMK, it is first checked and then sent for assessment by the Dean who covers the research topic in question. Please reserve enough time for this process. The decision will be made by the Finance and Administration Director or the Dean.
Confidential information
Do the attachments (research plan) include confidential information?
