Our services are generally available to all researchers at schools of higher education and research institutes, both nationally and internationally. Inquiries can be made per telephone or post. We will either answer them as soon as possible, or invite you for a consultation.

To decide on the priority of the inquiry, we consider the type and the source of project funding. The highest priority goes to research projects that have been approved through an assessment procedure by an independent organization that issues research grants, such as the German Research Community (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) or the Volkswagenwerk Foundation, or are financed by the budget of a university or other school of higher education. The rest follow in descending order: Research institutes maintained by the state, such as federal and member-state institutions; miscellaneous public clients; private non-profit organizations; and lastly, scientific projects from commercial institutes that can present an inquiry of general scientific interest and can guarantee that the results will be made accessible to the research public. 

Doctorates and students can only be counseled in rare cases due to the heavy workload.
