around the world. The information gained will be used in the analysis of 
strategies for design promotion undertaken in different national contexts.

It would be most appreciated if you could contribute by answering the 
questions below, it should not take more than 5 minutes of your time. 
Please forward your answers to [log in to unmask]

the study. Moreover, please do not hesitate to contact me in case of any 
questions or if you are interested in exchanging more information in this 
field of research.
