Agbar Foundation prepared the survey in order to improve a next seminar organization. The answers may help us to identify areas where we can improve and to recognize areas where we are doing well.

It is divided into three areas: before the seminar, evaluating the seminar, and after the seminar.

The survey was delivered to the seminar attendants during the two-days seminar. Later, was delivered by e-mail to those who hadn't filled it.
