We would be very grateful if you could complete this survey that intends to gather information on the current state-of-the-art in detector R&D for physics at the energy, intensity and cosmic frontiers. 
The survey will contribute to assessing the deployment and strength of R&D activities in  astro-particle, neutrino, nuclear and particle physics in Europe. It will also aim to elucidate opportunities created by current and emerging technologies and the potential for greater synergies between R&D activities.
Answers to this survey will provide key insight for the preparation of a document by the ECFA Detector Panel for the ongoing Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, follow-up discussions and compilation of the "Briefing Book" in 2019/2020.
The survey solicits input from physicists and engineers, from master students to senior researchers, involved in astro-particle, neutrino, nuclear and particle physics activities in Europe.
