We work in 40 countries with experienced local researchers who regularly use our research approach. The local research teams guarantee high quality.

The local researchers are not only involved in the fieldwork, but also in the analysis. This ensures that the intercultural aspects of the topics are taken into account comprehensively. Centralized project management of cross-national projects ensures systematic and consistent project implementation.
