Dear Researchers and Specialists,
In the context of a EU-project about decreasing mobility obstacles for researchers, the University of Tartu together with partners (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Euraxess Zurich, University of Copenhagen, CERTH, SAIA) carries out a survey on the question of Dual Career and Integration initiatives in various countries in Europe. The results of the present survey should show in which countries and of which institutions Dual Career and Integration initiatives are offered and/or how Dual Career and Integration initiatives ideally should be designed so that the needs of mobile researchers are adequately met.
The introduction of Dual Career and Integration initiatives is an answer to the changing situation concerning the increasing demand of mobility for researchers. Yet, there is not much data about the obstacles and need of mobile researchers (and their partners & families). Therefore, we are highly dependent on as many answers as possible to the present survey. We highly appreciate your participation and encourage you to forward it also to your spouse or partner, even if he/she is not working in the same institution as you are. The completion of the survey will take about 15 minutes.
Please follow the link http://ww3.unipark.de/uc/TANDEM_Tartu/ which gives access to the survey. If you cannot open it, please copy it in your browser. Even though the link is the same, the questions will be different depending on the respondent´s profile. We would appreciate if you could fill in the survey by 17th of March. We apologize for possible cross-posting.
Thank you for your interest and the time. Do not hesitate to contact either Marju Valge (Marju.Valge@ut.ee<mailto:marju.valge@ut.ee>, (+372) 737 5845) or Sirli Urbas (sirli.urbas@ut.ee<mailto:sirli.urbas@ut.ee>, (+372) 737 5194).
Best regards,
Marju Valge and Sirli Urbas
