Do you want to help education move forward? Help organisations be more sustainable? Help healthcare communities and services do more good?
Well, you’re in the right place. Our research panel is made up of thousands of people just like you – people who know their insight has the power to make things better, and quite like being paid or winning a prize in return!

How does it work?
We bring insight to some of the world’s leading organisations. When they ask us to run interviews, surveys, focus groups or online communities, we often contact those on our research panel who might be interested – be they students, educators, researchers or healthcare professionals. You’d be guided through the process and we try to organise the research around your availability. If you have queries you can visit our respondent FAQs.

Why join the research panel?
Aside from taking part in interesting research and influencing the work of organisations important to you, most of our research opportunities are either paid or give entry to a prize draw as thanks for your time and valuable perspective. Participants give us an average score of 9.5/10 for satisfaction with their research experience, along with enthusiastic feedback.
“Extremely professional! Always a joy to participate in research with this company.”
