How we can help

These are the problems people actually arrive with. Each one can be a single conversation, a workshop, or a project we run alongside you.
  • Your data isn’t ready to analyse.

    Data engineering

    Turning messy files into one documented dataset that rebuilds itself.

  • You need to collect data, and it has to be done properly.

    Data capture

    Secure collection in Nettskjema, TSD and Educloud — and a route back out.

  • Your analysis doesn’t run the same way twice.

    Processing and analysis

    Analysis workflows that give the same answer on any machine.

  • The analysis is too big for your laptop.

    Large-scale computing

    Getting large analyses onto TSD, Educloud or Saga — and making them finish.

  • Nobody can see where the project actually stands.

    Applications and databases

    Databases and small web apps that show the state of a project.

  • Your funder wants a data management plan.

    Data management and sharing

    Data management plans, and structures that make sharing possible later.

  • Your group needs to learn this, not outsource it.

    Workshops and training

    Hands-on training in R, Python and Quarto, built around your own data.

What we run and support

Some of what we do has a name of its own. If you arrived looking for one of these in particular, this is it.

  • GOAT

    A research database that keeps its own history

    Every value is versioned and timestamped, so you can see what changed, when, and who changed it. Built through UiO’s HUB-node initiative, and installed inside TSD when the data is sensitive. We set it up, shape it around your project, and train the people who will use it.

  • Nettskjema

    Surveys, from the form to the dataset

    Nettskjema is UiO’s survey tool, and we work at both ends of it. We help build the questionnaire — question types, branching, validation — and the process around it: who gets the link, where responses land, who may see them. If you want the responses in R afterwards, we can set up our nettskjemar package for you — or show your group how to use it themselves.

  • MRI

    From protocol to published figure

    Protocol development, study design and feasibility up front. Once the scans exist — from whichever site collected them — we organise them, quality-control them and get them onto TSD, then run the preprocessing, structural and functional analysis, statistics, and the figures and methods text the paper needs.

  • Behavioural experiments

    Tasks that run in any browser

    Cognitive paradigms, questionnaires and response-time tasks written in JavaScript, so the same experiment runs in the lab, on a participant’s own machine or on a tablet. Our tachisto builder assembles one without you writing any, and exports a self-contained experiment you can upload to Cognition.run, Pavlovia or JATOS, or host on a server of your own. A UiO platform to run them on is in development with the IT department.

Get in touch

Tell us what you are stuck on, in your own words — you do not need to know what the technical name for it is. We will tell you honestly whether we can help.
  • The first hour is free for anyone at UiO.
  • You will talk to someone who does the work, not an account manager.
  • A rough price and timeline, if you want one.
