Tune in to the recording from our practice sharing event: 'Branching out with CEDARS'
The Culture, Employment and Development in Academic Research Survey (CEDARS) was developed in 2019 by sector working groups, it replaces the long-running Careers in Research Online Survey (CROS) and Principal Investigators & Research Leaders Survey (PIRLS).
CEDARS integrates questions from the CROS and PIRLS surveys with new questions reflecting the Principles of the revised Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, incorporating the environment, culture, professional development and employment of research staff and the experiences of their managers.
Following a successful pilot year in 2020, the survey ran again in 2021. The next CEDARS will run in 2023. If you are interested in running CEDARS at your institution please contact us at: CEDARS@vitae.ac.uk or Register your interest
