The 2007 (reporting year 2006) ProTon Europe Survey has been launched

The annual survey of ProTon Europe serves a number of important purposes:

• Increase the recognition of the importance and contribution of knowledge transfer from public research to innovation and welfare;
• Help our members to benchmark their operations and performance against national and European standards;
• Support policy recommendations at European level.

For those reasons it is very important that all our full members participate.

In order to limit duplication, the survey is performed in collaboration with our national partners in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Spain and United Kingdom. Where national surveys exist in these countries, the responses will be consolidated. If you belong to one of the partner national associations, applicable instructions will be given through this channel.

If you do not belong to one of the national partner associations, you will receive shortly the direct link enabling you to respond to the survey on-line.

The deadline for completing the survey is end of September 2007. The consolidated results will be reported at the annual conference scheduled for January 31-February 1, 2008. Many thanks for your understanding and support.
