Participants: the 18 scientific and academic institutions partners of SiS FVG
Each edition of the survey consider:
- the previous academic year for students
- data as of 31.12 of the previous year for researchers and teaching staff working for the institutions
- the entire previous year for incoming and outgoing researchers and teaching staff and for the research collaborators working for the institutions
The questionnaires, one for the universities and one for the research institutions, were submitted via email and filled in independently by the reference people of each institution, who could count on the support of Area Science Park staff.
