Case
Abstract
Since 2001, the European Social Survey has been mapping attitudinal and behavioural changes in Europe's social, political and moral climate. Recognised for its rigorous standards and high-quality data, the European Social Survey is used to inform academic and political debate, allowing scholars, policymakers and think tanks to measure and interpret change over time. This case study will outline the European Social Survey lifecycle, from initial research design through to analysis and dissemination activities, providing a detailed description of the research methods employed and the challenges associated with delivering a high-quality cross-national social research project.
