In addition to financial and infrastructural support, the DFK Paris also provides specialized advising to predoctoral and early career art historians. This includes assistance in applying for funding from national and international organizations. The DFK Paris values such opportunities for scholarly exchange, as it consciously seeks to act as a forum for interactions among art historians from France, Germany, and around the world.

Other services for researchers are offered by the Max Weber Foundation and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
