EIF Diversity Survey – Supporting inclusive opportunities for Illustrators across Europe

Dear Members / Participants

This survey is part of research carried out by the European Illustrators Forum (EIF), financed by contributions from (member associations + countries), to better understand the opportunities an challenges within the illustration sector in different countries across Europe today.
Specifically, we want to know the diversity of the group of illustration professionals, review financial income differences between the different countries, and understand how we can best champion under represented minority groups within the illustration industry.
Survey results will offer statistical data that can be used by the EIF to identify key priorities and provide important evidence for Government consultations. Results will also help the EIF to develop initiatives that support a wider range of illustrators in building a successful, sustainable career.
Therefore, we ask for your participation by filling out this questionnaire. All your responses will be anonymous and confidential. Thank you for your cooperation.
