We invite you to participate in our survey exploring the intersection of parenting and fieldwork experiences. As researchers balancing the demands of field-based research with family life, your insights are invaluable. This survey aims to understand the challenges and strategies employed by parents in the field (both apart from children and during accompanied fieldwork), with the ultimate goal of enhancing support systems and resources for those navigating similar paths.
Who are we: We are two female early career researchers who are a part of the Horizon Europe-funded ICEBERG project, which investigates ocean and coastal pollution with the aim of co-creating governance and resilience strategies with European Arctic communities. This survey falls under the purview of Work Package 4, which focuses on issues related to co-creation, knowledge co-production, ethics, gender, fairness, equity, and citizen science.
This survey will take 10-20 minutes to complete, including multiple choice questions and the option to elaborate on your answers with the free-form text. All questions are voluntary. Your responses will remain confidential and anonymous, and we do not ask for any identifying information or contact details. All personal data is handled according to the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) of the EU.
