Experts (for journalists only)


Informationsdienst Wissenschaft supports journalists in finding interview partners, studio guests and guest authors: We enable them to contact experts from all scientific disciplines.


Experts Database

Since 2025, a database is the new centrepiece of idw’s expert services. Press officers can upload and manage all experts from their own institution here, accredited journalists can search for experts in the expert lists or directly in the database and filter the entries by region and language, among other things.

Expert Finder

Informationsdienst Wissenschaft helps journalists getting into immediate contact with experts from its member organisations who are willing to provide information if questions remain unanswered after researching the literature, the idw news archive and other sources.The expert finder is available only possible for logged in journalists.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
