Culture barometer
To all academic staff: your opinion matters!
On 19 January staff with an academic appointment received an email inviting them to take part in the Recognition & Rewards Culture Barometer. We would like to emphasise that, if we are to be able to paint a representative picture of the way in which the institutions are recognising and rewarding the work of their academics, your input is crucial.
We would be very grateful if you would take the time to complete this questionnaire. Please do so by 15 February 2025 at the latest.
The questionnaire takes a maximum of 15 minutes to complete. It is not possible to save your answers and return to them at a later date.
The barometer is being rolled out by independent research bureau Berenschot on behalf of the Recognition & Rewards programme. The data will remain in their possession, and will not be shared with the client or with institutions. An overarching report will be produced, as well as an institution-specific report for each institution.

Results of Recognition & Rewards culture barometer 2024
The various ambitions of the Recognition & Rewards programme are widely supported by academics. For example, they firmly endorse the diversification of career paths and the focus on quality.
Besides highlighting the above-mentioned broad support for the programme, the culture barometer also reveals some areas of concern. For example, most respondents note that they have not yet seen any change, or much change, since the programme was launched. Most of the changes experienced are policy changes, while systemic and culture changes are experienced less. A large group of respondents even worry that Recognition & Rewards will not succeed in putting the programme’s ambitions into practice. To conclude: there is still work to be done!
A special edition of the Erkennen & Waarderen e-magazine discusses the reults of the culture barometer in further detail, including an interpretation of the results and interviews with scientists.
