EC survey of Marie Curie Fellows

On behalf of the European Commission, Directorate Education and Culture (DG EAC), the research companies GfK and Economisti Associati are conducting the survey: Marie Curie researchers and their long-term career development.

The survey questionnaire covers topics related to your research career and Marie Curie fellowship, in order to help the European Commission to collect and organise information related to the career development of Marie Curie researchers, and to present a comprehensive picture and a deep analysis of the long-term career paths after their Fellowship. This will facilitate a greater understanding of the role of the Fellowship in today’s European research community, and thus your participation in this survey will help inform future policy. The survey is applicable even if you are no longer a researcher.

If you would like to participate in this survey, but have not yet received an email, please register at www.MarieCurieFellowsCareerSurvey.com
