FLUKA User questionnaire

Dear FLUKA user, we kindly ask you few minutes of your time to provide us an essential feedback to understand the use of FLUKA in the world and to improve the FLUKA package.
Please answer as many questions you can and reply within the middle of August.
It is very important for us to configure the future of the FLUKA project.
Members of groups using FLUKA are kindly requested to diffuse this document to all the people using the code.
With many thanks, kind regards
