Democracies need science.

Science and services

It’s all about tomorrow and the big picture. The growth engines of our country are scientific excellence and innovative strength, the quality of vocational training and the securing of a skilled workforce. Long-term thinking and future-oriented educational opportunities are the decisive foundation for it all. What’s more, science and knowledge transfer make an important contribution to democracy, because they ensure that discourse is informed, and that decisions are based on the best possible information.

Issues we know inside out: university rankings, excellence strategy, internationalisation, vocational training, practice orientation, digital expertise, human resource development.

“Yes, it takes work. Intensive work that occupies a lot of space in my mind and my heart. With and for people who stand up for their goals and convictions, and whose ideas resonate because they’re shaping the future.”

— Britta Wöhrmann

Research and time pressure don’t go together. And yet they do.

The German education system in all its diversity is facing global competition, accelerated knowledge production, demographic change and a shortage of human and financial resources. Extremely accelerated processes require managers to work faster while maintaining reliable quality.

Our clients are universities and research institutions, public and private service providers in the production and transfer of knowledge and their self-governance. They also include foundations, chamber organisations and associations. Working with committees is one of our sweet spots. Non-discriminatory and neutral selection procedures are a matter of course.
