The Call for National Coordinator for Round 11 of the European Social Survey is open. The submission deadline for applications is 1st of March at 4pm.
The ESS is an academically-driven social survey designed to chart and explain the interaction between Europe’s changing institutions and the attitudes, beliefs and behaviour patterns of its diverse populations. Currently in its tenth round, the survey covers more than 30 nations. It is a repeat cross-sectional survey and uses the most rigorous methodologies. The ESS allows governments, policy analysts and scholars to keep up with social trends that affect how democracy is working and how European citizens perceive their lives, their nations, and the world.
