2026 March: New Guideline on User Surveys for Core Facilities

Understanding user needs and experiences is essential to improve services in Core Facilities, where user satisfaction is a key performance indicator. During last years' Ulmer Workshop, ULMTeC has initiated a collaboration with Tiller Alpha with the goal to establish guidelines for more effective user surveys. 

Developed in collaboration with Core Facilities and technology platforms in Germany and Austria, the publication presents best practices for designing effective user surveys by covering key satisfaction dimensions and offering practical guidance on questionnaire design to support evidence-based service development in the research community.

The guideline is available for sharing under a Creative Commons license.

2025 February: the operating and usage regulations of our technology center have been published. They define the structure and governance of ULMTeC (part A), the operation (part B) and the usage (part C) of our ULMTeC core facilities.
