Research Policy & Development

F&E - Scope of Services

The experts of the unit F&E are committed to the coordination of international research and innovation policy. We are your partner for networking of researchers and policy stakeholders in third countries. Work is based upon accompanying analysis of processes of internationalization of research and technological development.
Our team has a wide international background and high intercultural competences.

Network coordination, consulting and research are discussed and implemented with clients and cooperation partners in a flexible and goal-oriented manner. The team is open to discuss ideas for joint applications to "calls for proposals" or "calls for tenders".

The competencies of the unit F&E are based on more than 20 years of practical experience in national and international research policies. For delivering appropriate solutions for the different challenges in national and international research policies, we have developed a portfolio of various products. Today we not only use our already successfully approved competencies but are also open and eager to further develop our existing as well as to create new products.
