Research Committee AUTH2 Questionnaire for foreign researchers Following the decision of the Mobility Network, we proceeded with the development of a web- based questionnaire for foreign researchers working in Greece

Research Committee AUTH3 Questionnaire for foreign researchers The questionnaire is accessible through the URL:

Research Committee AUTH4 Questionnaire for foreign researchers Our questionnaire is based on the one created by the Academy of Finland (with few adjustments) The Finnish questionnaire Has been used by other mobility networks as well (e.g. British) Provides the possibility for comparable statistical data across all members states of the Eramore Mr Sanopoulos will make sure that we have permission to use the questionnaire, for the needs of the Greek Mobility Network

Research Committee AUTH5 Questionnaire for foreign researchers Following initial development, we incorporated changes proposed by CERTH and the Greek MCFA The web based questionnaire is operational

Future moves (suggestions)

Research Committee AUTH7 Questionnaire for foreign researchers 1. Assembling lists with the s of foreign researchers by the MOC and the local academic institutions 2. Publishing hyperlinks to the questionnaire in the web sites of the MoCs (and other sites that we may have access to) 3. Publishing ads for the questionnaire in newsletters, relevant magazines etc 4. Sending and/or post invitations to researchers for filling out the questionnaire

Research Committee AUTH8 Questionnaire for foreign researchers Note 1: In most cases, the mailing lists of the universities can not be disclosed to other organizations It would be better if the MoCs and the corresponding academic institutions and research centers send the invitations themselves, attaching a message by the Greek ERAMORE This will probably increase the response write

Research Committee AUTH9 Questionnaire for foreign researchers Note 2: The Greek Mobility Network will obtain a list of names and s of those researchers that chose to disclose their personal data The Greek Mobility Network will be able to create a database of foreign researchers living and working in Greece
