Research Councils UK, in collaboration with the British Academy, Royal Academy
of Engineering and the Royal Society, is asking current and former research Fellows
to participate in an e-survey about the new UK International Fellowship Association
(UKIFA).
The deadline for completing this survey has been extended until the 30th of
June. We have already received a great response and want to get a wide range
of feedback so if you have not already completed this survey then please follow
the link at the bottom of the page.
UKIFA is being developed in response to a recommendation by the Global Science
and Innovation Forum (GSIF) to encourage and promote an alumni network of researchers.
The network will be open to international researchers who have been working in the
UK and is intended to ensure that potentially valuable collaborative relationships
are not lost, by helping researchers to keep in touch.
UKIFA aims to:
- provide access to an international network of excellent researchers;
- encourage international research collaboration;
- allow members to share information and experiences;
- provide information about UK research and funding.
A dedicated website will be set up to promote these aims. This survey is designed
to find out the needs and requirements of the Fellowship community and how a web-based
association can support this.
If you have already completed this survey then thank you for taking the time
to let us know what you think. The results will be posted on the RCUK website in
July.
Completing the questionnaire
This questionnaire is composed of a series of open and closed questions and should
take no more than 10-15 minutes to complete.
