Survey Futures: Practice Forum 3 – Changing Data Collection Modes, 1 October 2024

Survey Futures:  3^rd Survey Practice Forum – Changing Data Collection Modes

Tuesday 1 October 2024: 10am – 4.15pm UK Time (online meeting)

The focus of the day is on changing practice in the use of survey data collection modes. In the morning, three of the Survey Futures research strands will present emerging findings from their research into the implications of different aspects of changing practice. In the afternoon, three government survey programmes will present their experiences with changing modes for some or all components of surveys, followed by a session on Training and Capacity Building. To enable a thorough exchange of perspectives, plenty of time will be available for discussion and comment.
