Apologies for cross posting
Brexit presents a significant change for the UK. However, those professionals who work in the Information Communication and Technology (ICT) sector and/or manage information, whether in the public or private sector, are well practised at responding to fast changing environments to harness opportunities.
UCL and Northumbria University have launched a short survey (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BrexitICTopportunities) which aims to capture perspectives on the opportunities and threats that face those delivering information agendas across the UK. We hope to identify ideas that information professionals can harness to support the UK changing landscape and also flag areas of information management/ICT weakness in the light of Brexit.
The survey is open to anyone. Although the focus is on the UK position we are keen to hear where those outside the UK see opportunities to collaborate with the UK or have reservations for engaging with the UK in the light of Brexit. We hope people will contribute in a constructive manner even when noting concerns. We aim to publish the results quickly in an open access journal and plan to repeat the study to gather longitudinal data as the picture develops.
There are 20 questions (all optional). It takes 10-20 minutes to complete depending on how much you wish to write. There are no right or wrong answers to any of the questions. The survey is anonymous and no IP addresses are being collected.
We know that you are busy and appreciate your time. You can exit the survey and your previous comments will be saved so that you can go back and complete it when you have time. The survey will close on Monday 25th July at 4pm.
Please do forward on this email so that we can reach as many people as possible and tweet Brexit: opportunities and threats for information & ICT professionals: UCL and NU launch survey https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BrexitICTopportunities
The research is a partnership between the iSchools at UCL (Dr Elizabeth Lomas) and Northumbria University (Professor Julie McLeod). The survey is being facilitated by Dr Elizabeth Lomas [log in to unmask]
