[AISWorld] Brexit: opportunities and threats for information and ICT professionals across the globe - survey closing on Monday

[Lomas, Elizabeth]

This is a reminder that this survey will be closing on Monday https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BrexitICTopportunities. It it open to all those in ICT not just UK members...


In a global economy where information flows across borders the British Exit from the EU (Brexit) presents a changing dynamic not just for the UK but EU Member States and potentially other countries too. Those professionals who work in the Information Communication and Technology (ICT) sector and/or manage information, whether in the public or private sector, are well practised at responding to fast changing environments to harness opportunities and minimise threats.

UCL and Northumbria University have launched a short survey (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BrexitICTopportunities) which aims to capture perspectives on the opportunities and threats that face those delivering information agendas not only across the UK, but the EU and the World. We hope to identify different perspectives on shifting opportunities and threats for IS in the light of Brexit.

The survey is open to anyone. Although this matter represents a significant change for the UK position we are keen to hear where those outside the UK see opportunities to collaborate with the UK or have reservations for engaging with the UK in the light of Brexit or plan to bid for UK business. We hope people will contribute in a constructive manner even when noting concerns. We aim to publish the results quickly in an open access journal and plan to repeat the study to gather longitudinal data as the picture develops.

There are 20 questions (all optional). It takes 10-20 minutes to complete depending on how much you wish to write. There are no right or wrong answers to any of the questions. The survey is anonymous and no IP addresses are being collected.

We know that you are busy and appreciate your time. You can exit the survey and your previous comments will be saved so that you can go back and complete it when you have time. The survey will close on Monday 25th July .

Please do forward on this email so that we can reach as many people as possible and tweet Brexit: opportunities/threats for IM & ICT professionals: UCL & NU survey https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BrexitICTopportunities #Brexit #EURef

The research is a partnership between the iSchools at UCL (Dr Elizabeth Lomas) and Northumbria University (Professor Julie McLeod). The survey is being facilitated by Dr Elizabeth Lomas e.lomas at ucl.ac.uk<mailto:e.lomas at ucl.ac.uk>
