Purchasing Language Services

If you are a researcher and want to have your dissertation, article or abstract, translated or proofread, you must purchase this service in accordance with the national framework agreements. The Joint Libraries of Faculties of Humanities and Theology offer you as researcher, or PhD student support in this process. You are welcome to contact us if you have any questions on how to proceed.

  • The principle of non-discrimination
  • The principle of equal treatment
  • The principle of transparency
  • The principle of proportionality
  • The principle of mutual recognition
