Connecting Experienced Researchers

Welcome to the Research Network

The RESEARCH NETWORK is an association of experienced market and social researchers who have spent all or most of their working lives in such activities. We currently have around 200 members; most of them have been associated with the field for at least 25 years and some for a lot longer.

Our purpose is to help members stay in regular contact with friends and colleagues through a mix of social events, a regular newsletter and online facilities. We organise lunches and other get-togethers in London – lively and convivial events at which members have the opportunity to meet up with old acquaintances and make new friends.

We also support initiatives such as an oral history archive and the Archive of Market and Social Research (AMSR), and have close links with the industry charity, the Market Research Benevolent Association (MRBA).

NED Talk: Speaker Adam Phillips
Wednesday 12th November 2025.
 

Our NED Talks are early evening Zoom meetings, with a speaker talking about a topic of general interest for 20–30 minutes, followed by time for discussion and a general chat. The speaker for our next NED Talk will be Adam Phillips, who will talk about long distance sailing and a trip to Patagonia and Cape Horn. Adam's hobby is long distance sailing in small boats in the colder parts of the world. He will be speaking about some of the trips he has made over the last 20 years, in particular, a visit to Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn in a 42 foot cutter.
