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.
