ESS is an academically led and methodologically rigorous biennial study of changing social attitudes and values within Europe that has been conducted biannually since 2002. In 2013 ESS was awarded ERIC status. The ESS Round 9 will be carried out in 2018-19.
The survey measures the attitudes, beliefs and behaviour patterns of diverse populations in more than thirty nations. The main aims of the ESS are:
•to chart stability and change in social structure, conditions and attitudes in Europe and to interpret how Europe’s social, political and moral fabric is changing
•to achieve and spread higher standards of rigour in cross-national research in the social sciences, including for example, questionnaire design and pre-testing, sampling, data collection, reduction of bias and the reliability of questions
•to introduce soundly-based indicators of national progress, based on citizens’ perceptions and judgements of key aspects of their societies
•to undertake and facilitate the training of European social researchers in comparative quantitative measurement and analysis
•to improve the visibility and outreach of data on social change among academics, policy makers and the wider public.
In Denmark ESS R9 is financed by the Carlsberg Foundation. The National Coordinator is Senior Researcher Torben Fridberg, VIVE. The survey data collection for the 9. round will be carried out in Denmark in September- December 2018 and the release of the international comparative data file is scheduled to be October 2019.
