What is ESNSurvey?

The ESNSurvey is one of the most essential and oldest international projects of ESN. It has been giving ESN a lot of recognition and clout. It is entirely based on volunteer work of the ESNSurvey team and the vast resources of the ESN network.

What you get out of it?

• Designing a full research project in an international team
• Conducting a Europe-wide research
• Improving your academic writing skills in English
• Educing policy recommendations from research outcomes
• Communicating research results to various groups of audiences and stakeholders (amongst others, the European Commission has always been interested in the results)
• Presenting the research results at academic and policy-development conferences (possibly)
• Additionally, you will get recognition in terms of being mentioned as one of the authors of the official ESNSurvey publication (see previous editions)
