GYA Survey on Workplace Challenges - Global Young Academy

Welcome and thank you for participating. This survey is directed towards the members and alumni of the Global Young Academy (in any discipline, working in either academia, public administration or the private sector). The main goal is to assess and better understand the different challenges faced by women and men working in science. The survey is anonymous and all data collected are confidential.

As a token of appreciation, three 500 EUR vouchers will be given out to randomly selected respondents of the survey who are current members of the GYA. These prizes can be used during the year 2021 to either sponsor open-access publication fees (conditional on including GYA funding acknowledgment) or to cover registration fees for academic (online) events (ideally, the event should have some connection to the GYA, or there should be an opportunity to speak on behalf of and introduce the GYA). Should you wish to participate in the prize draw, you will be able to register for that at the end of the survey.

For any queries relating to the survey, or the prize draw, please contact Anna-Maria at the GYA Office, or GYA Women in Science working group member Jonas.
