In 2007, in order to further guarantee the quality of its services and to consistently review its scholarly and practical relevance, the Georg Eckert Institute developed a concept for establishing a Service and Transfer Advisory Committee and a recommendation for members, that was approved by both the Academic Advisory Board and the Board of Trustees. The central task for the committee is to examine and evaluate the overall Institute services as well as those of the individual research areas (including both the Communication and Transfer and Library departments).

The members of the Service and Transfer Advisory Committee are:

• Dr. Peter Lautzas
