Your perspective counts: STEM (MINT) survey on shaping the future

How is a future-relevant educational and economic sector perceived and understood today? How do these areas interact? Where is there room for optimization? This is exactly what gfs.bern and ETH Zurich want to find out with the STEM Mood Barometer. 

Your assessment as a decision-maker is particularly valuable to us, as it helps us to better understand current developments and recognize needs more clearly. You can make an important contribution with the 15 minutes you invest. 

The survey is deliberately designed to be open - even if you have not dealt much with the topic of STEM so far, your opinion is still welcome. 

Thank you for your participation and your support.
