Space Universities Network Member Survey

This survey will help improve SUN

The Space Universities Network has had an uplift in funding this year and would like to measure its impact. The survey also contains a few questions on how you would like SUN to support you in the future.

It's being conducted by the Space Skills Alliance

We are a not-for-profit research organisation, running this survey on behalf of SUN. You might know us from the previous SUN Impact Survey or the Space Sector Skills Survey.

It'll take you between 5 and 10 minutes

Almost all the questions are closed questions that are quick and easy to answer. If you have some time to spare, there are opportunities to provide some more detail, which we would really appreciate.

It's anonymous and all questions are optional

You can answer all, some, or none of the questions. We will make no attempt to identify you, but you can optionally provide your email address at the end if you are interested in being involved in a follow-up.

You can contact us at sun-survey@spaceskills.org

If you have any questions about this survey, you can get in touch with us at sun-survey@spaceskills.org.
