SocialShip - surveys
Detailed information about privacy related to data collected through surveys in connection with the SocialShip research project.
[For information in English, please see below.]
The surveys are about the social working environment on Norwegian fishing vessels, cargo and passenger ships. Two questions are central: (1) How do fishermen and seafarers experience the social working environment on board their vessel? (2) What are the factors that influence the social working environment on board?
The surveys are part of the research project SocialShip . The purpose of the project is to contribute to increased knowledge about how to create a better working environment at sea.
The project is led by Birgit Pauksztat, senior researcher at Nordland Research Institute Partners in the project are Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway, the Institute of Marine Research and the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca (Italy). The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway (project number 352603).
How we store and use your information
