CESES offers short-term hands-on assistance in problem solving, predominantly to small and medium-size enterprises which are not in a position to afford commercial advice. Such assignments are not a substitute for commercial consulting and requests from clients able to afford such consultancy will be refused. Assignments in the area of arms production, military or sensitive nuclear projects are excluded from the range of activities of CESES members. The Confederation protects the intellectual property of third parties by refusing any requests for transfer of information on such property (patents, classified product information etc.).
