ELIXIR Communications strategy review  - internal stakeholder survey

ELIXIR Communications strategy review - internal survey

The ELIXIR Hub is reviewing the ELIXIR Communications Strategy to evaluate current communications activities both within ELIXIR and externally to users and other stakeholders.

As part of the review, we would like to collect feedback from members of ELIXIR on different aspects of our Communications channels (newsletters, website, social media etc). Completing the survey should not take more than 10 minutes and will help us to ensure we provide you with the best communications support possible.

This survey is aimed solely at the ELIXIR internal community (i.e those involved in ELIXIR Nodes, members of ELIXIR Platforms and Use cases, those involved in EXCELERATE) and is anonymous.

For any questions, contact premysl.velek@elixir-europe.org

A separate survey targeted towards external users and stakeholders will be disseminated through ELIXIR's social media channels.
