Hel.A.S. becomes 20 years old next year, when we plan to organize the 11th conference of our Society. Given this opportunity, the Society’s Council believes that it is important to acquire and record information regarding the research activities, interests, and needs of our members. In this way, we hope we will be able to determine the present status of Astronomical research in Greece, as well as, determine and prioritize the future research areas and infrastructures that Hel.A.S. would wish to support actively in the near future.

For these reasons, the Hel.A.S. Council has prepared a questionnaire. Given the potential significance of this «20th anniversary survey», we strongly encourage all our members to complete the questionnaire (we anticipate it will not take you more than 5 min of your time to do so!) and e-mail it (either in word or pdf format) to the Society’s Secretary (secretary@helas.gr).

We hope we will be able to present the first results of this survey in our forthcoming General Assembly, which has been scheduled to take place in Athens on June 29, if we receive a considerable feedback by then. The final results will be presented in the next Hel.A.S. conference, which will take place in September 2013.

The questionnaire can be found here (in word format) or here (in pdf format). Please answer to the questions, and send it back to the Secretary.
