Euroscience survey on working conditions and career development of Young Researchers

There is still a significant lack of comparable data in Europe on young researchers' situations. Supporting previous initiatives, Euroscience aims to fill the gap, focusing specifically on Young Researchers (master students, doctoral candidates and post-docs).With a questionnaire approach Euroscience would like to hear the Voice of Young Researchers on their career development thereby enhancing the knowledge about young researchers needs and helping to improve their situation. 

 

Launching

The survey was launched April 16th 2012 and is still ongoing! Please tell the world!  You can access the survey here:
