Methodological Expertise
Our methodological expertise in research ranges from process evaluation, risk management and quality assurance to stakeholder engagement and participation, policy recommendations, needs analysis, and co-creation. A particular focus lies in the integration of the social sciences and humanities (SSH) – for example, in addressing questions of equity and inclusion – an aspect we embed from the proposal development phase.
