Research projects for academics / researchers
For academics and other researchers whose projects are funded as part of a grant or from available funding, we can arrange a license that suits your circumstances.
Please talk with us about your project so we can help you.
Student-led research projects
Special heavily discounted student licenses are available for students using 1000minds for their projects. Eligibility depends on you, the student, being the project’s lead researcher – i.e. your project, thesis or dissertation.
In our experience, it’s common at many universities for your institution or department to cover your license fee to use 1000minds for you as an educational or research expense.
1000minds for teaching
As well as for research, 1000minds is widely used for teaching in many disciplines.
The skills students develop while learning about Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) or conjoint analysis are very useful, both professionally and personally – life is all about making decisions involving trade-offs!
We can enable each of your students to have their own 1000minds login so they can use the software themselves, including for class projects. Student feedback confirms that this is both empowering and fun.
Our pricing schedule (available on request) depends on how many students you have.

Questions & answers
Can I get some advice?
Of course, please book some time with us to talk through what you want to achieve and how we can best support you.
Can I change my package later?
Yes, we’re quite flexible about transferring your license between packages. In most cases it will be fairly clear about what’s required from our initial conversations but, of course, sometimes your needs will change or new opportunities will arise.
Can I let others use my license?
We license your use of 1000minds for a particular business purpose or project. You can invite as many others as you like (e.g. your colleagues) to work with you. They will have individual logins on 1000minds with access to project folders that you share with them. Please talk to us if you have any special requirements in this regard.
Can I get a price quote?
Yes, please just ask. Be sure to mention if there is any particular information your organization needs included in the quote.
How does billing work?
Licenses are usually billed annually in advance. We’ll send you an invoice and you can pay by bank transfer or credit card in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD or NZD. Let us know if your organization requires any particular information on the invoice.
Is 1000minds GDPR compliant?
Yes, 1000minds has an application instance in the European Union with all data storage and processing performed in the EU. Furthermore, 1000minds is headquartered in New Zealand, which is recognized by the European Commission as GDPR adequate. You can choose to use the EU/GDPR instance when you sign up and log in.
