Tampere University
Unifi, Arene and Kopiosto are collecting information on the volume and content of copying (e.g. photocopying, printing, scanning, digital copying online) in higher education institutions during autumn 2026. The survey is conducted in the form of an online questionnaire (Webropol) targeted at university research and administrative staff. The data collected will be used to estimate the total number of copies, distribute the remunerations to the copyright owners and improve licensing solutions.

We kindly ask you to respond to the attached survey latest at 17th of November – it will only take about 3–6 minutes. The information collected is anonymous and will only be used to assess the amount and content of copying. For statistical reliability, it is important that you take the survey even if you never copy or distribute copyrighted content from the internet or print publications.

The survey is intended for individuals working at a higher education institution who are currently employed by the institution. If this does not apply to you, you do not need to complete the survey.
