How to do good research with open data?
● The ESS is an academically driven cross-national survey that has been conducted across Europe since 2001
● Every two years, face-to-face interviews are conducted with newly selected, cross-sectional samples
● The survey measures the attitudes, beliefs and behaviour patterns of diverse populations in more than thirty European countries
● The ESS data and documentation is available free of charge for non-commercial use and can be downloaded or analysed here www.europeansocialsurvey.org
● Free educational resources (for self-study)

How to do good research with open data?
● 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
