Service partners for your project planning
The Service partners will assist you in your successful project planning right from the get go. The variety of different services provided by the individual partners associated with HCDH cover almost every aspect from project planning and implementation to data archiving. To successfully plan and cooperate with the service providers, it is necessary to ask the right questions at the beginning of the project. Therefore, individual institutions put together a catalog of questions for an initial orientation at the beginning of the project. Typical questions lead to the individual service providers, whom you can contact with your respective questions.
