A Strong Team

city2science consists of the founder and CEO Dr. Annette Klinkert and the project managers Dr. Verena Molitor, Dr. Veronica Dodero and Basel Myhub. We work mobile and decentralized, structured and fast. We achieve good results through an alternation of exchange and brainstorming as well as independent concentrated work – sometimes in home office, sometimes in the beautiful office situated in Unter den Linden in Herford.
