In early September, the FWF presented the results of a career survey conducted by Spectra Marktforschung. 3,300 participating researchers were asked about their careers, their working environments, and the FWF’s funding programs. A brief report and Spectra’s summary of the results are available here.

To make the results of the survey easily accessible to all interested parties and organizations, the FWF now offers its own online, searchable Career Survey Dashboard. All survey data and results are transparently available in this dashboard and can be used for further analysis.
