Already heard of ‘Fringe Factory’ (www.wearefringefactory.com)!? It is a new movement that has been set up as a group of young researchers who work passionately within the market research industry across the world. We aim to provide a platform to young researchers, a place to bring edgy thoughts to our industry… a place to show that (being in) market research is fun!
On the night of the 19th of September, we hold our very first ‘Fringe Event’ ever: ResearchUncoverd.TV at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. Will you join this explosion of entertainment for and by the ‘researcher minded’!?

What can you expect?

• An MR themed edition of the ultimate game of True or False. We are still looking for your crazy and unbelievable research stories for this one, drop tom@springresearch.com a mail (ofcourse, we will handle them in a very confidential way J);
• A Blind Date job interview: 3 hiring agencies trying to seduce a ‘lucky’ intern… Will it be love at first sight?
• A talkshow in which our very own Dr. Phil will apply MR models to everyday life and domestic conflict;
• All of this spiced up with guest performances from market researchers with ‘special talents’!

Not able to make it to Amsterdam? Well… you will have to miss the after party of the year, but don’t worry: there will be live streaming too! Sit back, relax and tune in to ResearchUncovered.TV!
We are thrilled to meet you in Amsterdam in less than 4 weeks: let’s have some research fun…

Today Ferrari announced that Schumacher won’t return to Formula One. They say that Schumachers neck injury was not yet fully recovered and that it would impossible for him to race in a F1 car.

A lot of people including me are really disappointed by this decision because we all thought that we would see Schumacher in Valencia or Spa. So Formula One did a great job, boosting the ticket sales by announcing that Michael would return.

I don’t think this is very good publicity for Formula One and I don’t know what’s going to happen with F1 in the future with all their conflicts . But as long as there are F1 races, we can enjoy watching them. And I hope it will still be an incredible race in Spa (I’ve a bronze ticket ).
