Welcome to the homepage of the Scientists Survey
The field phase of the 2026 Scientists Survey has started!
We are delighted to once again be able to gather the experiences and assessments of researchers at German universities with doctoral programs. If you have received an invitation, we kindly ask you to participate in the study. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at wibef@dzhw.eu.
