KoWi offers a wide range of services directed at different target groups and drawing upon 20 years of experience with European research funding. The services are divided into three operation segments – information, consulting, training – and are accompanied by a number of associated activities. For us at KoWi it is important to make sure that our services are to the full benefit of the respective target group. Therefore, KoWi places great value on close coordination with the locals in charge and on the profile of the respective institution in planning and organising an event and choosing an appropriate audience.
