• APECS Review Questionnaire 2019

    The first organisational review of APECS and its activities was conducted in 2015 and informed the content of the 2016-2020 Strategic Plan. In order prepare for the next Strategic Plan, the 2019 Organisational Review Committee (ORC) (https://apecs.is/get-involved/apecs-review-2019.html) is seeking input from the APECS community on their views of APECS’ activities, continuing development and future trajectory. The survey will take approximately 15-25 minutes to complete. Your responses will be kept confidential and will only be seen by members of the team tasked by the 2019 ORC to analyse survey results. Name, email and IP address information will not be collected, unless you yourself provide this information. The results of this study will be made public in the ORC report but will contain no identifying information. We may refer to the results of this survey on other occasions but will not re-use the raw data. If you have any questions about this survey please contact organizational-review@apecs.is
