On February 2nd 2024 the new N2 Survey 2023–2024 went live. All doctoral researchers of the 96 institutes and research museums of the Leibniz Association had the opportunity to participate. The survey is being currently evaluated by the working group Survey of the PhD Network. Once evaluated, the results will be published here and shared with the doctoral researchers within the Network.

This year the survey covers the topics of Demographics, Working Conditions, Satisfaction, Supervison, Integration & Inclusion, Career Development, Family, Power Abuse, Mental Health and Crisis management. In the past years about 950 doctoral researchers within the Leibniz Association have participated in the survey.

Why participate? Data from this survey is used by the PhD Network and our academic institutions to identify systemic strengths and weaknesses and direct resources toward initiatives that will improve outcomes and experiences of doctoral researchers.
