Extra Resource Application Procedure
Research based visits and collaborations
1. Discuss your need with host / PI or person who authorised your access.
2. If they are not an academic they discuss with their PI ... until an academic is reached.
3. This academic decides if there is a reasonable case.
4. If there is they make the case to their head of department (DAMTP or DPMMS).
5. The head of department decides. If they agree the Head of Department PA is responsible for arranging for the resource.
Non Research based visits and collaborations
As above but the case is made to the BOM. If an academic did not authorise your access then the person who authorised it makes the case. In many cases this will be the BOM.
If the request is approved please wait for the head of department PA to arrange the access.
Maths Helpdesk
Please do not email the maths helpdesk asking for the above extra resources. We put in the systems to allow them be set up, but we do not get to influence who has access. If you are unhappy with a decision you can appeal to HoD. Contact HoD PA for assistance.
