IUKWC Open Network members’ survey: summary report

The India-UK Water Centre (IUKWC) promotes cooperation and collaboration between the complementary priorities of NERC-MoES water security research. The Open Network members’ survey was conducted in January 2019 under the authority of the IUKWC Management Board. At the time the survey was conducted, the membership stood at just over 800. The IUKWC had by this time convened four workshops, two Grassroots Field Exposure Surveys (GFES), and one User Engagement Initiative (UEI), as well as having supported three Pump Priming projects, and thirteen research exchanges. The aim of the survey was to determine what, if any, outcomes or impacts, members had derived from their engagement with the IUKWC, and from participating in the Centre’s activities, over the three years during which the Centre had been active. The survey was rolled out through the IUKWC website (www.iukwc.org) and ran for three weeks (8th – 29th January 2019). It was available only to Open Network Members, and the results were anonymised to remove any bias in analysing the results. The results from the survey were partially included in the Project Highlight Report (IUKWC, 2019), with a plan to publish the full results at a later date. The following is a collation of all the results from this survey, and a summary of how the results were used.
