Applied Research in Vocational education & training - SME perspective

Welcome

Hello and thank you for taking time to fill out this questionnaire!

In the frame of the Erasmus+ co-funded project AIRinVET, we are conducting a survey to gain insights into the experiences and perspectives of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) regarding applied research and innovation activities in collaboration with educational institutions. By "applied research and innovation activities" we mean the practical and systematic approach to solve real-world problems and improve existing technologies or processes.

Please take 8-10 minutes to respond to the following questions. For your convenience, the questionnaire is available in English, Dutch, Spanish and German. You can switch the language in the upper right corner. Your participation is highly valuable to us, as it will contribute to a better understanding of the current landscape and potential opportunities for collaboration.
Your responses will be kept strictly confidential and used for research purposes only.

Thank you for your contribution!
