Thank you so much for your interest in our questionnaire on attitudes towards technology!

The survey should take you about 10 minutes.

We, Christian Kerschner (WU Vienna) and Melf-Hinrich Ehlers (Agroscope, Switzerland), put this brief questionnaire together in 2010, because back then we were (and today still are) interested in the following questions:

1. What attitudes towards technology prevail among researchers and teachers, who work on issues related to sustainability?
2. In what contexts do particular attitudes towards technology prevail?

In 2010 we distributed this questionnaire to the participants of the ISEE conference in Oldenburg/Bremen and now – 15 years later – we would like to repeat this survey to be able to compare how the community has evolved concerning these very important questions for sustainability research.

Please try to fill in the questionnaire as best you can. The data will be treated fully confidential. You will be able to receive our research results, if you sign up with your email address at the end. Because we will use the findings to write a research article comparing attitudes towards technology in 2010 and now, this questionnaire has largely the same format as in 2010.

We know how time seems to have become even more scarce in those last 15 years, so we are extremely grateful for you support.

Important: Please note that for comparability reasons this survey is only dedicated to participants of the ISEE-DG Conference in Oslo this year (2025).
