Accreditation


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


Accreditation provides journalists with additional options:

  • Access to our lists of experts (with direct contact to specialists)
  • Receiving press releases under a news embargo ahead of time (non-accredited journalists receive such items only after the news embargo has expired)

More detailed information is available under "Research".
