THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THIS NETWORK, FOUNDED IN AUTUMN 2002, ARE TO:

• Facilitate networking amongst people who have spent the major part of their careers in market research or social research, by organising opportunities for social contact, for instance by holding lunches, parties and other events.

• Keep Members informed of Network activities and events and provide a means of publication of articles by Members, by issuing a twice-yearly Newsletter and also by maintaining this website

and to

• Ensure that the voice of senior researchers is heard wherever market or social research issues are discussed and, where appropriate, within the Market Research Society (MRS), although current or former membership of the MRS is not a condition of membership of the Research Network.
• Offer mutual support, utilising, where appropriate, the services offered by the Market Research Benevolent Association (MRBA). There is a link to the MRBA website on the LINKS page and the MRBA is a body with hich we have been closely associated from the date of our foundation.

We have approximately 240 members. The Network is run by a Steering Group of members which is elected at an Annual General Meeting held in December of each year. All members have a role in organisation which they fulfil on an entirely voluntary basis. Click the STEERING GROUP TAB TO SEE CURRENT MEMBERS.
