Survey
We are conducting a survey on the progress and challenges of compliance with the dimensions of decent work in HEIs. We are especially interested in collecting and making known the opinions on the subject of teaching workers, university researchers, and non-teaching workers (technical-administrative, civil servants, support staff).
The results of this consultation will allow us to prepare a report that we will publish on December 15 of this year. They will be widely disseminated through social networks and sent to all university organizations involved in the preparation of the meeting in Brasilia, so that they know in advance our views and proposals on this issue.
In order for this to be possible, we need to receive your responses by November 10 of this year.
