SMIA Research: Skills Gaps and Development Needs of Music Industry Practitioners in Scotland (2019)
The Scottish Music Industry Association (SMIA) exists to represent and develop Scotland's music industry. In partnership with the University of Strathclyde, we are currently undertaking research into the current skills gaps and development needs of our industry in order to ensure our services, projects and events are needs-led and provide as much impact and benefit as possible.

We invite all individuals working in any capacity in Scotland's music industry to complete the below survey to help inform our future activities. We understand that many of you are very busy, so we sincerely thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this for us.

The first 50 people to complete this survey will win free Core Membership of the SMIA for a year, beginning 8 July 2019 and ending on 8 July 2020. Everyone who completes this survey will also be entered into a prize draw to win a pair of Sennheiser HD 25 headphones. Winners will be notified by email on Monday 13 May 2019.

Please note, all responses to this survey are confidential and all findings will be anonymised when a report is published. The deadline for completing this survey is midnight on Friday 10 May.
