Why This Survey?

SYNAPSIS is developing tools and training for privacy-aware audiovisual data management. We need input from researchers, data stewards, and technical staff to ensure the platform meets real needs.

Your responses will help us prioritize features, design effective training programs, and understand the challenges you face with audiovisual research data.

"This survey is part of WP2 community engagement and will inform platform development through 2026-2027."
