CEDARS is open to early career researchers(ECRs) at Sussex, as well as Principal Investigators (PIs) and managers of researchers. We want to know more about you and your experiences of the research environment here at Sussex. From 28 April to 30 May we are running CEDARS, a national survey of researchers and their managers.
CEDARS is run at institutions across the UK every two years. As well as covering important topics – research culture, responsibilities and recognition, and working conditions – the results establish a baseline for the UK research system, and identify what we need to do to foster a healthy and supportive research culture in which our researchers can thrive.
If you’re eligible, you will receive a direct invitation from JISC to participate. The link will also be included in any reminder emails before you complete the survey. We will share results on the CEDARS webpage later in the year, and you'll find previous survey reports on the same page.
The survey should take no longer than 15 minutes. As a thank you, everyone who responds can opt in to a prize draw to win one of three £150 cash prizes. To enter, add your email address when prompted.
This is a great opportunity for you to feed back to us directly and influence change at an institutional level. We strongly encourage you and your colleagues take part!
