Past and Current Collaborations among Canadian Civil Society Practitioners and Academics (Academics) |
Survey for academics
Purpose
The purpose of this survey is to help us understand what types of collaborations are already happening, and what are the challenges and best practices survey respondents have identified from past and current collaborations. This survey is part of a research program being conducted by the Canadian Council for International Co-operation and the Canadian Association for the Study of International Development. You are invited to participate in this survey because you are a Canadian Academic and/or a practitioner (see definition below) working on international development and humanitarian issues.
Why respond?
● LEARNING: By completing this short survey, you will help document your experience and create a baseline for the Next Generation program. We will then use your responses to inform the literature review, our monitoring, evaluation and learning framework, and to share these experiences and lessons with our respective memberships through webinars, conferences, reports, etc.
● UTILITY: As potential participants in one of the Models of Collaboration, your responses will help shape the design of our next set of activities, including our calls to participate in the program, our annual conference, communities of practice, etc. Your responses may also be developed into case studies that profile best practices in collaboration.
● PROGRESS: The database we are developing of Canadian researchers and research-practitioners in Canada along with this mapping of past and current collaborations (to document your practical experience and lessons learned) are the first steps to fostering an environment that is more conducive to academic-practitioner collaboration!
● NEW OPPORTUNITIES: The results of the survey will help us plan and potentially find new resources to support existing and emerging initiatives as this program evolves.
