Dear Sir/Madam,

There is a common belief that the scientific community is disconnected from civil society and the labor market. Even in the sectors of Green Infrastructure (GI) and Urban Forestry (UF), further collaboration among stakeholders is needed – and therefore we want to better understand the actual background and needs of three categories of stakeholders involved in GI and UF: research scientists, policy makers and private professionals.

We would appreciate your help in this endeavor by answering a short questionnaire. To fill in the form, please click on the category that applies to you:

Research >

• professors,
• researchers,
• technicians,
• graduate students,
• research fellows,
• Phd students,

Public administration >

• councilors,
• mayors,
• managers of green areas, urban trees
• administrators of green areas, urban trees
• technicians in public administrations
• tree workers, gardeners

Private sector >

• Private professionals
• Self employed
• Garden designers
• Landscape planners
• Specialized technicians in urban greening
• Forestry workers
• Nursery staff (managers, technicians etc.)
• Tree climbers

The questionnaire will take about 10 minutes to complete. The information provided here will be treated as strictly confidential. Only aggregated statistics will be published, without any reference to your personal or organizational details.
Your contribution will be useful to other stakeholders, and will help to evaluate the current needs of Green Infrastructure and Urban Forestry.

We thank you in advance for your collaboration.
