The cost simulator is used to estimate the cost of a project before submitting a full access request. It lets you know if certain requested data are unavailable or if certain data combinations are impossible. Researchers can therefore adjust their request in real time.
The simulator allows researchers to consider different scenarios and better target the data required to carry out their project according to their budget.
Obtaining a cost estimate before submitting an official access request also facilitates the grant application process.
Practical features
- Display by increments to provide an overview of expected costs.
- Information from previous projects is used to speed up the process.
- An unlimited number of scenarios can be evaluated.
- Scenarios available in PDF format.
To use the cost simulator, researchers must first register in the Research Zone.
