Remote access use
A research project-specific use charge is paid for remote access use including both the use charge for remote access use and opening and maintenance fees. This agreement will remain valid until further notice. The research project selects a suitable virtual machine for its use.
Prices per virtual machine
| Virtual machine | Price |
|---|---|
| S (8 GB RAM, 4 cores) | EUR 2,250 per year |
| M (16 GB RAM, 6 cores) | EUR 2,750 per year |
| L (32 GB RAM, 8 cores) | EUR 3,500 per year |
| XL (64 GB RAM, 8 cores) | EUR 4,800 per year |
The remote access charges are invoiced twice a year, the invoicing period is six months: the use between January and June is charged in June and the use between July and December is charged in December.
If the virtual machine changes during the invoicing period, the use charge is for the biggest virtual machine used.
The minimum length for the invoicing is one invoicing period (January to June / July to December). Hence, the minimum charge is a six-month share of the annual charge. If the use of the remote-access starts or ends in the middle of the invoicing period, the charge will be set in proportion to the monthly level according to the start and end times provided that the use has continued for at least one whole invoicing period.
Other remote access costs
A limited amount of disk space is reserved for each research project, additional disk space is charged for separately. The price for additional space is EUR 120 per 200 GB a year. The price includes the opening charge for the first year.
Data costs are invoiced in accordance with the price list of research data.
Interview and survey services
The price for a data collection made by interview and survey services is comprised of the costs of the collecting and designing of the content of the data, costs of the fieldwork stage of the data collecting, and the costs of the processing and editing of the data.
The main factors influencing the costs are the mode of data collecting (telephone interview, face-to-face interview, postal inquiry, web-based data collecting or a combination of these), the length and sample size of the inquiry, the amount of work involved in the designing of the questionnaire and the data collecting. and the form in which the data are delivered (data file, tables, table report, survey report).
Due to the aforementioned factors the price of a survey can range from a couple of thousand to hundreds of thousands of euros. The most important factors affecting the costs of the different survey implementation modes are always discussed in advance, after which a preliminary cost estimate can be given for them. The final cost estimate is made when the implementation alternative that suits the customer's needs and the survey details have been established.
Methodological services
Hourly charging is applied in the pricing of methodological services, for which the price exclusive of VAT varies between EUR 80 to 140 depending on the nature of the assignment. Monthly charging may also be applied in large projects.
