The survey aims for a snapshot of the current situation of Imaging Facilities worlwide.

It collects data on facilities’ issues for the Core Facility Session workshops, but also other wishes and interests of CFs.
The survey should be completed ASAP, but we leave it open until end of 2019, We would like to have a broad statistical and highly relevant data basis. This will also help us to get enough input to engage in lively discussions and future interactions at upcoming meetings.

The survey consist of six categories, all together to be completed in about 30 minutes, hopefully not more. Therefore, please answer the last question of the survey!! But we think its good invested time for the CFs.
Some questions can mostly be answered only by facility heads. So please only answer questions, when you are sure about your knowledge for the right answer. We did not want to have seperate surveys for heads/directors and staff.

Please use the opportunity to add additional points for discussion at the end of the survey in the free text field.

The data collection is anonymous by default. Only statistics and network information are collected by the webserver. However, the combination of questions might allow us to identify you indirectly. But we will keep these personal data confidential!

We plan to make the whole data accessible for the community within 2019/2020. Your feedback will be used in a future, common publication from us. Moreover, this data will help in negotiation and discussions with local funding bodies, companies or any type of lobbying work.

If you find mistakes in the survey, have the feeling a certain question is hard to understand and should be changed immediately, please send a mail to: Roland.Nitschke@biologie.uni-freiburg.de
