Past Research Network events
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).

 


 

Next Event

NED Talk. Speaker Peter Mouncey
Thursday 12th November 2026
 

Our next event will be a NED Talk. These 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 will be Peter Mouncey, who will give a talk entitled: 'Steam Days with Grandad Trains!'. Peter will describe how, in later life, he has been lucky enough to add a very practical dimension to an interest in railways (steam in particular) that is, as he will relate, strongly rooted in family history and childhood experiences.
