Take ten minutes to help shape the future of research and development careers.

You are one of millions of R&D professionals around the world shaping science and innovation. Policymakers influence the decisions your work and career depend on, but good policy depends on good information. Contributing your perspective helps ensure those decisions are well-informed.

The OECD and EU have joined forces to develop a new international survey of personnel working in research and development. It takes around ten minutes to complete. The insights it generates will help policymakers and the wider community understand how R&D work and careers are evolving. Taking the time to respond ensures that your voice and experience are reflected in the evidence base guiding future policy on R&D careers.  

This survey forms part of the work of the Research and Innovation Careers Observatory (ReICO) which brings together, for the first time, internationally comparable data, statistics, and policy-relevant evidence on the careers that drive science, technology, and innovation, covering more than 50 countries. For more information on the ReICO initiative, visit https://oe.cd/reico or contact us at reico@oecd.org. 

Your answers are strictly confidential. Every response counts.
