Thank you for your interest in my research project. There are different ways to participate, however, what ever way you choose (you are not confined to one), your participation is voluntary and your privacy will be protected all the time.

HAVE YOUR SAY!
This is my set of nine questions around climate change, travelling, and environmental issues. You can answer them online or offline and each participant with a valid email address will enter a prize draw of one of three AU$ 100 VISA gift cards.

GET INVOLVED
The community part of this website contains a forum where you can post, discuss, share your opinion, thoughts, experiences about travelling and climate change with other participants. You will also have access to some preliminary findings and can provide feedback and further comments. A short registration with a valid email address is required and each participant will enter a prize draw of one of five travel guides of their choice.

ONE-TO-ONE
Participants who would like to talk about their opinion, thoughts, and experience in a more 'private' environment, can have a one-to-one conversation with me via email, instant messenger, or even face-to-face if located in travel distance. Each participant will also enter the prize draw of one of five travel guides of their choice.

You can find further information about my research project under 'Research Information' or read my 'Project Snippets'. 

Please read below consent information and let me know if you have any questions. You can download the information as a PDF here.
