GenderInEnergy Student Survey 2023

Today, the education and training landscape worldwide is confronted with an urgent need to prepare students for key roles in what is known as the energy transition. This global shift involves moving away from traditional, non-renewable energy sources, such as fossil fuels, towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy system primarily based on renewable sources. Every country must effectively manage this transition while ensuring social sustainability, requiring individuals with new or combined skill sets at all levels, from manual labour positions to top executives. In light of this context, we conducted a survey among students in universities and other tertiary education institutions worldwide to explore their perceptions of the energy transition and assess their interest in pursuing a career in the energy sector or other positions at the forefront of this transformation. It was conducted in summer 2023. The questionnaires were implemented on the web, namely on EUSurvey and Netigate. The survey made use of a structured questionnaire with a range of closed questions and the option to add open text responses where appropriate. The survey was distributed with the help of the broad network of organisations and experts in the studied countries. In addition, a student panel provided by Netigate was used to reach the target number of responses. The survey was aimed an any person in the target population, irrespective of gender and field of education and training. The survey took 5 to 10 minutes to answer. All answers were anonymous, and the respondents were not asked any identifiable information, such as e-mail address, to avoid bias. The questionnaire was available in English as well as French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish. No weighting was applied to the dataset.当今全球教育与培训领域面临一项紧迫需求，即需助力学生为所谓的能源转型（energy transition）中的关键岗位做好准备。这场全球性变革要求摒弃化石燃料等传统不可再生能源，转向以可再生能源为核心的更清洁、更可持续的能源体系。各国均需在保障社会可持续性的前提下有效推进这一转型，这就需要各个层级的从业者掌握全新或复合型技能，覆盖从体力劳动岗位到高层管理职位的全范围。 鉴于此背景，我们于2023年夏季面向全球高校及其他高等教育（tertiary education）机构的学生开展了一项调研，旨在探究其对能源转型的认知，并评估其投身能源领域或该转型前沿岗位的职业意向。本次调研依托网络平台实施，具体使用了EUSurvey与Netigate两款工具。调研采用结构化问卷，包含一系列封闭式问题，并预留了可根据需要添加开放式文本回复的选项。调研通过研究覆盖国家内广泛的组织与专家网络进行分发，此外还借助Netigate提供的学生面板完成了目标样本量的回收。本次调研面向目标人群中的所有个体，不限制性别与教育/培训领域。问卷作答时长为5至10分钟，所有回答均为匿名处理，未要求受访者提供电子邮箱等可识别个人身份的信息，以规避调研偏差。数据集未进行加权处理。
