What is your life like as an “expat”? 25/04/2008 00:00
Expatica has partnered with Ruigrok | NetPanel to form the European Expat Panel, and we’re looking for qualified participants—you. This panel provides the ultimate opportunity to share your views on living abroad.
Survey results are published on Expatica.com's E-Specials and used as a source of information for articles and other features. More importantly, your views and experiences help Expatica and other companies to understand your needs and requirements to improve your life abroad. This is how sharing your views could directly improve your quality of life abroad!
“Expats are hot,” said Ruigrok | NetPanel Managing Director Marja Ruigrok. “They are a group of innovators who left the comfort of home for the adventure of living in another country. They are usually highly educated, high-earning world citizens with distinct ideas, needs and preferences.”
”Often, very little is known about Expats,” Ruigrok added. “This is the reason as to why Expatica and Ruigrok Netpanel joined forces.”
In this endeavour, Expatica serves as the target group expert and Ruigrok | NetPanel as the ISO 20252 certified marketing research bureau. Thus far, the Europen ExpatPanel has conducted survey for the needs of female expatriates, housing, education, finance, leisure, and general quality of life.
Join the European Expat Panel by going to http://onderzoek.netpanel.nl/ep. Share your opinions on the issues that internationals face in every day life. As a panel member, you will receive a maximum of twelve email invitations per year to take part in a short online research.
We are currently running a survey on the experiences and insights of expats on the Labour and Financial markets abroad. Once you have completed the survey, you are given the opportunity to be a part of the ExpatPanel.
Research data and results are available upon request. Organisations in need of information about expatriates are encouraged to pose their questions to the European ExpatPanel themselves: marja@ruigroknetpanel.nl.

I do not know where Marja Ruigrok lives.Ca veut dire on which planet.I have lived in france for almost six years and I have yet to meet these highly educated,high earning world citizens looking for adventure.There are economic refugees,those aiming to improve their social status(too competitive in UK)who refurb a 14th bus shelter and never stop talking about it,and the Dailymailers who think britain is going to les chiens,but where are these others?
