Description
The University of Kent is undertaking research into whether/how people relate to nature in the UK. We are seeking to engage a social market/research company to recruit project participants for us (including administering any incentives that the panels pay for participation), project manage the delivery of the research in collaboration with us, and conduct transcription of focus group and one-to-one interview sound recordings. For each data collection step, we will need new participants who have not been part of the research process previously.
