European employment survey starts

Which country pays its chemists and chemical engineers highest salaries? Where do I soonest find a new job? Which chemical sub-discipline offers most jobs? Reliable answers for these and other questions will be derived from the first European employment survey for chemists and chemical engineers, which has started this September on www.chemsurvey.eu.

The questionnaire is available in 24 European languages. All responses to the questionnaire are saved anonymously, even though a valid e-mail address is required on the first page. The validity of this e-mail address is checked upon start in order to prevent misuse. Only if you want to receive the results of the survey (in particular about salaries) directly, your e-mail address is saved independently of your responses.

The questionnaire has six general pages (Personal — Education — Employment — Job — Training — Salary) which provide fields for free-text responses. Industry employees find special questions on an additional page. We hope for active participation of chemists from industry, since industry is less represented in some national societies.
