Do you live outside of NI?
If you or your children studied at Queen’s but now work outside of NI (or if your children chose to study outside of Northern Ireland), Pivotal, the new public policy think tank would like to learn more about the factors affecting those decisions.
There are two phases of this study, the first phase is aimed at young people from NI currently studying elsewhere. Please click here to complete a short survey. The second phase aims to speak with professionals from NI working elsewhere to understand their motivations for living and working outside of NI. Please click here for details or contact ben@pivotalppf.org if you’d like to take part in this phase of the study. The research aims to develop evidence to influence future policies in NI.
