COLLABORATION WITH FOREIGN INSTITUTES

Egeria collaborates with foreign institutes on the conduct of qualitative research projects. These projects are divided into the following stages:

• requests for estimates from a number of institutes, and forwarding to the client
• delivery to the chosen institute of the guide translated into English, and any stimulus material; telephone briefing to explain the purpose of the research and information about the group
• (if the client so wishes) attendance by the Egeria research manager at the premises of the foreign institutes: personal briefing for researchers and supervision of fieldwork in  simultaneous translation
• forwarding of report template to the institutes
• analysis of reports received from foreign institutes; drafting of a single report designed to highlight any common trends and special features found in the various countries in which the research is conducted

In the course of the research Egeria coordinates the foreign institutes, which act as direct suppliers to the client that commissions the research.
