Big Team Science Experience Survey |
FORRT is part of the CONNECT Partnership, whose Metascience Working Group has launched the
Big Team Science Experience Survey.
The ~20-minute survey explores: 🔬 Research practices and culture 👥 Benefits and challenges of Big Team Science 💭 Researchers’ experiences and evaluations 🛠️ Areas for improvement
Early-career researchers are especially encouraged to participate, including postdocs, PhD, Master’s, and undergraduate students involved in Big Team Science through communities like FORRT.
Results will be shared at BISCON 2026!
