DSIT Public Engagement Survey 2025/2026

The DSIT Public Engagement Survey is a continuous push to web survey of UK adults aged 16 and over. It provides statistically representative national estimates of adult engagement with DSIT’s sectors that can be used to understand how people are engaging with, or experiencing, science and technology in their day-to-day lives.   

This is the first year that the survey has taken place. Fieldwork was conducted between November 2025 and March 2026. 

We aim to continuously improve the quality of estimates and better meet user needs. We welcome feedback on this release. Feedback should be sent via email to [email protected]
