Our concept

We aim to instruct and advise at the highest level and for the benefit of each client individually. For this reason, our activities derive from the latest research on publishing, PhD studies, communication skills, interdisciplinarity, and academic job seeking.

Based on the findings of this research, we identify a set of learning goals and design the curricula of our training courses accordingly. Courses are organised in thematic learning-modules, with plenty of hands-on tasks and time for questions and discussion. Our participants receive detailed handbooks and clear guidelines to aid them in applying the content of our courses to their own work. As far as possible, content is adapted to participants' subject areas: we analyse participants' specific training needs prior to each course and then tailor our services to our clients' requirements.

We also provide personal coaching and consulting services for institutions. We respond to the particular requests of an individual researcher or a research coordinator. Clients receive specific advice on how to progress effectively in their field.
