The American Slovenian Education Foundation (ASEF) is conducting this survey to gain a better understanding of the Slovenian diaspora, its professional trajectories, existing connections with Slovenia, and interests and opportunities for future cooperation.
We are interested in your experiences and opportunities for connecting with Slovenia in various fields, including education, research, business, entrepreneurship, knowledge transfer, and other forms of professional cooperation. Through this survey, we aim to better understand what forms of cooperation would interest you, what would encourage you to participate, and what barriers you may encounter.
The survey is intended for Slovenians and descendants of Slovenian emigrants who currently live outside Slovenia, regardless of their professional field, existing connections with Slovenia, or participation in ASEF programmes.
Your answers will help us identify different interests, needs, and barriers, and develop proposals for new opportunities and long-term, mutually beneficial connections between the Slovenian diaspora and Slovenia.
Completing the survey takes approximately 7–10 minutes. For each question, you may select one answer unless it is specifically stated that multiple answers are allowed.
Your participation is voluntary, and your responses will be treated confidentially. The survey data will be used solely for research purposes and handled in accordance with the applicable data protection requirements. Further information about data protection and the use of your responses is provided in the informed consent section.
