operators, IT, Internet providers, small and medium size software companies; and
most significant other niche companies – environment, geology, traffic, agriculture,
construction, spatial planning. Since the same list of actors and stakeholders was
intended to be used for the survey on awareness for SDI & INSPIRE, the scope was
broadened to major market research agencies and media – television and radio
stations, newspapers, internet portals, etc. The list of actors and stakeholders had to
be populated with contact details, first of all the e-mail addresses and telephone
numbers.
The responses from the primary beneficiaries, combined with the project experts’ own
investigation in some cases, were used to set up the list of stakeholders. The list was
divided by countries and the main questionnaire on capacity and education was sent
by e-mail in groups by countries. Since most of the stakeholder lists came later than
planned, and since for some countries they had to be done from scratch, the main
questionnaires were sent relatively late, the first having been sent amid July, 2012,
during a few subsequent days, as the recipient lists have been completed.

2.4.1 Overview
After sending the questionnaire to several hundreds of stakeholder addresses, 56
completed questionnaires were received which could then be processed. The return
rate could not be precisely measured; one of the reasons is that there were many
non-delivered e-mails, so the comparison would not be realistic.
