How we can help
Research & Knowledge Exchange Services can support you through the life-cycle of your research or knowledge exchange journey, from making connections, developing a proposal or quotation, and securing a contract, to managing an award.
RKES is the hub that supports the University's researchers and those involved in knowledge exchange and impact.
Claire Carroll, Director
We have a fantastic resource for Strathclyde staff called the RKES Portal with useful information, tutorials and guidance (requires staff log-in).
