Visas and international scientific collaboration

Dear colleague,

This survey is specifically aimed at scientists who applied for visas to attend international (meaning outside their country of residence) conferences, training, workshops, meetings, and other professional collaborations (incl. medium-term employment and degree opportunities) in the past five years. We are in the process of determining the impact of immigration legislation, and visa applications in particular, on international scientific collaboration. To achieve this goal, we would like to invite you to take part in a 6-minute survey. Your participation is entirely voluntary, and completely anonymous.

You are welcome to seek additional information, and provide additional thoughts by emailing us at jwwilson@zoology.up.ac.za and/or d.biggs@uq.edu.au.

If you would like to complete the survey copy and paste the following URL into your internet browser: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/S36ZJW6

Thank you for your assistance. We value your responses!

Johnny Wilson and Duan Biggs
