Procedures

The survey instrument (the questionnaire) has been developed by a team of researchers from 10 different countries. Each country IPS team organizes the data collection in its own country. Participation in the survey is only possible through a personalized link, sent to targeted respondents in an invitation e-mail. You can register your interest in participating via the form on the "Register" page.

Data for the first round is collected in the first half of 2009. Data collection will be repeated every two years so that developments over time can be identified. You can participate in each round of data collection.

Result summaries are prepared per country by the IPS team from that country. Result summaries are available to survey participants only. Result summaries can be expected in the second half of 2009, and survey participants will be notified on the e-mail address to which the invitation was sent.

Result summaries across countries will also be prepared as soon as data collection in the various countries is completed. Names of companies or respondents will never be revealed in any result summary.
