Research institutions

Autonomy for teams. Visibility for the institution.

KaiperKit enables multiple research groups or units to operate within a shared institutional structure. Each team maintains a separate workspace, while the institution has a common layer for managing workspaces, members, capacity and recorded activity.

For universities, hospitals, foundations and institutes with multiple research structures.

The institutional challenge

Each group can work well independently. The challenge appears when you need to see the whole picture.

Autonomy allows teams with different objectives, leads and ways of working to conduct their research. The challenge arises when that autonomy is not supported by a shared institutional structure for understanding recorded activity.

01

Independent teams

Each group keeps its projects, members and operations separate without having to work inside a single shared space.

02

Local structures

Leads and working practices can vary across units, departments and research groups.

03

Institutional visibility

Without a shared layer, people, capacity and activity have to be reconstructed from separate spaces.

Autonomy is not the problem. The challenge is preserving it without losing sight of the wider structure.

The KaiperKit institutional model

Multiple research workspaces within a shared organisational structure.

The institution organises teams without forcing all research into a single workspace.

Two levels. One product.

You do not have to choose between team autonomy and institutional structure.

KaiperKit separates each team's operational workspace from the layer through which the organisation manages its wider structure.

Understand the product
For teamsDedicated workspace

Their space. Their research. Their work.

  • Their own scientific structure
  • Team members and roles
  • Projects and operational context
For the institutionInstitutional layer

A shared view across teams.

  • Workspace management
  • Members and leads
  • Recorded capacity, activity and funding

The institutional layer does not remove the operational separation between workspaces.

Progressive adoption

Start where it makes sense. Scale when it delivers value.

An institution can evaluate KaiperKit within a limited scope before bringing additional teams into its structure.

Institutional terms

Access structured around the size and deployment needs of each institution.

Institutional terms are defined according to the agreed capacity and scope, with billing handled at organisation level and the option to bring teams on board progressively.

  • Institutional billing.
  • Defined capacity for workspaces and members.
  • Monthly or annual plans where applicable.
Institutional agreement
Tailoredto capacity and scope

Each institutional agreement is tailored to the required scope, capacity and deployment model.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about KaiperKit's institutional model.

Answers about workspaces, administration, roles, deployment and working alongside existing systems.

Yes. Each group or unit can work within a separate workspace with its own members, scientific structure and operational activity.

The institutional layer allows the organisation to manage workspaces, leads, members and capacity limits, while also providing an aggregated view of activity and funding based on what teams record.

No. Workspaces remain separate. KaiperKit provides a shared research model without merging every team into a single operational space.

Yes. It can be evaluated with a single group, unit or limited set of teams before expanding the institutional structure.

KaiperKit distinguishes between workspace roles, scientific roles, internal or external members and assignments, allowing each person's participation to reflect their working context.

KaiperKit is not positioned as a replacement for CRIS platforms, ERP systems, repositories or scientific tools. It provides a structure for managing research activity recorded in KaiperKit without assuming automatic integrations with external systems.
