Over the next few days, 4,000 expats will receive an invitation to participate in Expat Study 2014, the most comprehensive and in-depth survey to date of expat experiences in Denmark.
2014.06.12 |
The study aims to investigate the drivers and key concerns of Denmark’s expat community, focusing on employment, social life, education and family life for this very important group of contributors to Danish society.
As a partner in the study, Aarhus University hopes to use the results to continue to improve services and support for our international academic staff. We ask you to help us by filling out the survey so that we can make your stay at Aarhus University even more rewarding.
The survey will be sent to a randomly selected group rather than to everyone in the expat community. It will be conducted by Statistics Denmark, who guarantee complete confidentiality for all contributions.
The study is led by a partnership of key public agencies, universities, and representatives from the private sector. A report by Oxford Research, to be released in October, will give a complete picture of the many aspects of living and working in Denmark as an expat. It will cover not only family life and social life in a new culture, but also motivations for staying in Denmark. The report will be used to continue to improve the support offered to expats and their families, both upon arrival and during their stay in Denmark.
The study builds on the strong shared interest of all the partners involved in strengthening the possibilities open to expats both to pursue exciting career opportunities and to live rich social lives in Denmark.
Thank you very much for your participation.
