FanQ's Scientific Advisory Board provides ongoing support for the company's surveys in terms of topic definition, study design and evaluation. Its involvement ensures that appropriate methodological procedures are always applied and that insights are gained taking into account current sports science, sociological and economic findings. The interests and needs of fans recorded in the studies can thus be validated and correctly categorised.

The Scientific Advisory Board currently consists of four permanent members: Prof Dr Axel Faix, university lecturer for corporate management at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, who has been at FanQ's side since the company was founded. The advisory board is completed by Dr Monika Frenger, Department of Sports Economics/Sociology, Saarland University, club/association research, football research, various voluntary functions in sportProf. Dr Harald Lange from the Institute of Sports Science at the University of Würzburg and Prof. Dr Lutz Thieme, Professor of Sports Management at Koblenz University of Applied Sciences and a sports volunteer.
