As a member of the HERE Network we would be very grateful if you would complete a questionnaire about your interaction with the Hub for Education for Refugees in Europe (including the HERE Website, Knowledge Base, Insights and associated networking activities) and connections you have made through HERE.

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete and requests information about how you have been involved with HERE and how such involvement has been of benefit.

We are seeking this information to help us review the activities attached to HERE, the information we are providing and how we can improve the various aspects of HERE for different stakeholders. Your feedback will also help us seek funding in order to sustain the work and keep providing what we hope is a valuable asset.

Please read the following information before continuing. If you are happy to proceed please click the link below.

Further information about the project

Two years on from the inaugural HERE Conference and the inception of the HERE Knowledge Base, HERE Website and HERE Network, we are keen to understand how beneficial different aspects of the HERE Project have been.

Your feedback will be invaluable in helping us sustain our activities and further develop the HERE Project. All information you provide in response to the survey questions will be for the sole purpose of undertaking an analysis of the reach and impact of HERE related work. No details will be shared with other parties.

The questions have been designed to maintain your anonymity as much as possible, but we cannot guarantee that you will not be able to be identified by members of the research team through the combination of answers you provide. However, our analysis will concentrate on aggregated data rather than individual cases, which if used in any public document, we will make sure you are not identifiable.
