Upcoming Events & Initiatives
The International Consortium of Research Staff Associations (ICoRSA) is excited to announce the launch of its third survey, focusing on working conditions and social rights. Your participation is crucial in helping gather comprehensive data that can drive meaningful change. The 2024 survey is structured into six key sections to capture a holistic view of the research landscape:
Demographics: Understanding the diverse backgrounds of our research community.
Contractual Conditions: Insights into the nature of research contracts.
Career Expectations: Exploring aspirations and career progression in research.
Professional Development: Analyzing the professional development offer and needs of researchers.
Participation in Governance Structures: Assessing involvement in decision-making processes.
Who Should Participate? ICoRSA invites postdoctoral researchers from all sectors—academia, business, public administration, and the non-profit private sector—to participate. The survey is open to researchers at all career stages, from early-stage postdocs to senior researchers across all scientific domains. Your experiences and insights are key to highlighting the realities of research precarity and advocating for improved working conditions and social rights for all researchers. Join us in this important initiative and make your voice heard. Complete the ICoRSA 2024 International Survey on Research Precarity today and help us build a better future for researchers worldwide by October 1st, 2024.
