Expertise.

Given the diversity of our talent pool, we can offer our clients a wide range of expertise. These naturally include the six main themes around which the AMS Institute concentrates its research, but also a set of other skills that students bring from external universities.

All our consultants are specialized in their respective fields but are also trained to foster co-creation processes.
