Consulting Services for Researchers

„The soft skill workshop was amazing! I liked the fact that you knew your audience. You knew that you were dealing with ‘mature students’. This to me was a very strong point about your approach. You did not fill it with very many slides. Each slide had a very specific purpose. The examples from past proposals that we discussed were very helpful. I also think the fact that we were working on real proposals also helped. This meant that the training had an immediate purpose for us. We had to make sure that we pay attention so that we could apply the skills gained immediately.“

“Excellent and really practical course. It goes through crucial topics that use to be quite complex for applicants. Thank you for your effort!” “Thanks for providing me this insightful journey. Very helpful material to write research exposé and grant proposal.” “A fantastic guide to combine all the different and sometimes complicated steps to follow in the bureaucratic procedure for the grants and applications for scholarships.” “There is no better way to prepare for application for German PhD than taking this DAAD course. Thank you.” “This course was inspiring! Thank you very much for such high-quality and well organized information.”

“My proposal submitted to the EU was selected and secured. I am grateful to Birte and Reinhard for inspiring me during the grant proposal writing training to the right direction in my research career! You both are among the greatest mentors I have had in my academic career!”

“You may have heard this many times already.  But I would still say it anyway:  you are both cool and proficient mentors.  The efforts you exerted in mentoring us are genuinely appreciated.”
