W4RES Needs, perceptions and challenges in RHC landscape for eight regions dataset1 2021/03/30

The main idea behind the survey design was to obtain a clear identification of key factors correlated to the market uptake of RHC solutions through a gender disaggregated analytical approach in eight countries (Greece, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Slovakia, Norway, and Bulgaria). To better address different perspectives across the quadruple helix, the survey has been designed to include questions that are specifically targeted to each group. The survey has been divided into broad sections covering the most relevant topics to be addressed.

As for the interviews, to analyze needs, perceptions and challenges of market actors and stakeholders through a gender lens, the following research questions were defined:

I. Identify needs, perceptions and challenges of market actors and stakeholders across the quadruple helix in the 8 regions regarding the uptake of RHC solutions.

II. Identify needs, perceptions and challenges of market actors and stakeholders across the quadruple helix in the 8 regions regarding the role of women in RHC.

The survey was coded on the EUSurvey software and translated in the following languages: English, German, French, Bulgarian, Danish, Greek, Italian, Dutch and Slovak. As advised by ECWT, the partner based in Norway, it was agreed that disseminating the survey in English to the potential respondents operating in Norway was an appropriate strategy and that a translation in Norwegian was not necessary.
