Culture, Employment and Development in Academic Research Survey (CEDARS)

CEDARS is a biennial survey gathering anonymous data about research culture, working conditions, career aspirations and professional development opportunities for those conducting research in the UK. It will run again in Spring 2025.

Are you a researcher and/or a manager of researchers?

We want know more about your experiences of the research environment you currently work in.

The results of this survey are instrumental in informing the ongoing improvements Sussex is making to its provision for early career researchers (ECRs), as set out in the HR Excellence in Research action plan. This is your opportunity to tell us about your experience as a researcher so far.

CEDARS runs across the UK every two years. Results establish a baseline for the UK research system and help identify what more we need to do nationally, and locally, to achieve the Principles of the Researcher Development Concordat.

CEDARS is managed and supported by .

Who can respond?
