By adopting rigorous approaches to probability sampling, question-testing, event- recording, translation and response rate enhancement, the ESS has become THE authoritative source of information about changing social values in Europe. 

39 countries have participated in at least one round since 2002/03; 31 countries participated in ESS Round 10 (2020-22).

European countries are welcome to join the ESS, even if they have previously not taken part or have been absent for some time. The inclusion of new Members enables ESS ERIC to increase the body of comparative data available and leads to lower costs of participation for all the nations involved. Support can be provided by the central ESS team to help prepare countries participating for the first time.
