Has CRS entered its own echo chamber?

ICRS Annual Debate pre-debate survey

In this year's ICRS Annual Debate, we will discuss whether the profession can still be proud of progressive attitudes and innovative approaches. Or if we've become staid, set in our ways and guilty of group think.

This quick survey will gauge the views and preferences of CRS professionals, setting the scene for the event, and helping to fuel the debate.

This 8-question survey should take approximately 5 minutes. We encourage you to complete it even if you can't attend the debate.

Whilst lighthearted in nature, your responses will remain anonymous and confidential.
