Transfer at the Hector Research Institute

At the Hector Research Institute, we follow a concept of transfer that encompasses the three areas of activity defined by The German Science and Humanities Council: communicating, advising and applying. A particular focus is on close co-operation with all those involved in practice, politics and administration. Within this framework, we have developed a series of systematic activities together with our partners.
