Second survey diagnosing the types of barriers faced by young researchers at Gdańsk University of Technology
It has been two years since we began implementing changes at Gdańsk University of Technology, initiated by the feedback from GUT’s young researchers who took part in a survey diagnosing the barriers hindering their development:
In order to compare working conditions, identify the types of barriers encountered, and enable the introduction of the expected changes, the Office and the Young Researchers Team have once again made available to Gdańsk Tech young researchers an online survey diagnosing the types of barriers at Gdańsk University of Technology, which will remain open until March 23, 2025.
First survey diagnosing the barriers faced by young researchers at Gdańsk University of Technology
The first survey diagnosing barriers in the development of young researchers at Gdańsk Tech was conducted in July-September 2022. 42% of respondents out of 900 invited people responded to the survey.
Researchers identified problems in the areas of:
- scientific,
- organizational and administrative,
- infrastructure and health and safety,
- ethical,
- interpersonal,
- regarding well-being and generally understood "work-life balance".
Based on the research results, the Young Researchers Team identified nearly 30 barriers occurring in the everyday work of young researchers. The proposed actions - based on the analysis of identified problems - were included in the implementation plan of the HR4R Strategy for 2022-2025, introduced by the Rector's Regulation No. 74/2022 of November 18, 2022, and some are already implemented.
