Research Support
From initial concept to final publication, our research support services empower academics, students, and industry professionals to advance their projects with confidence and clarity.
We offer expert guidance at every stage of the research journey—whether you’re shaping a proposal, navigating ethical approval, securing funding, or preparing for dissemination. Our tailored resources and collaborative opportunities are designed to foster innovation, rigor, and impact.
Through mentorship, workshops, and strategic advice, we help researchers:
- Refine their research questions and methodologies
- Connect with interdisciplinary collaborators
- Access funding and institutional support
- Develop strong publication and dissemination strategies
- Align their work with national and international priorities
Whether you’re launching your first project or scaling up an established programme, we’re here to help you turn ideas into outcomes that matter.

CRiT: IADT’s Creative Research Impact Toolkit
CRiT is IADT’s Creative Research Impact Toolkit, developed through Elevate to help researchers plan, communicate, and demonstrate the real-world value of their work.
It provides practical resources, examples, and frameworks to support every stage of the research process, from defining project goals and planning for impact, to dissemination and identifying funding opportunities.
CRiT is a living and dynamic resource that will continue to evolve in alignment with IADT’s creative and interdisciplinary ethos and with national and international frameworks including Impact 2030, the HEA Principles of Good Practice, and Horizon Europe.
For questions or suggestions about CRiT, please contact Dorota Żurek at

Pure: Showcasing IADT’s Creative and Applied Research
Under Elevate, IADT is expanding its use of Pure, the institutional research information system, to enhance visibility, collaboration, and impact.
Researchers are supported to develop rich research and engagement profiles that capture projects, outputs, exhibitions, creative works, and partnerships, ensuring IADT’s research is accessible nationally and internationally.
Pure also underpins data-informed planning and showcases the full spectrum of IADT’s creative, academic and applied research to external stakeholders, funders, and collaborators.
