Details of Call

The ESS ERIC Director seeks to appoint an institution to provide survey analysis and training expertise as one of the institutions of the Core Scientific Team committee and lead associated activities in the Work Programme 2025 to 2029. 

Proposals are invited from leading academic or research institutions in the field of European survey research. 

The appointed institution will provide an expert to lead on development and execution of a work package on analysis and training. 

This expert will be a member of the ESS ERIC Director’s Core Scientific Team (CST). 

The expert will report directly to the ESS ERIC Director for the effective conduct of the work package.

Background

The European Social Survey is transitioning away from its previous face-to-face interviewing approach to self-completion data collection. 

ESS Round 12 (2025-26) will be carried out by a mixed-mode approach in participating countries, with half of interviews delivered by face-to-face interviewing and half by self-completion data collection (web and paper). 

From Round 13 of the ESS (2027-2028), all participating countries will use a full self-completion approach (web and paper) for all data collection. 

A major challenge associated with this transition is to understand the impact of the mode switch, comprising both the mixed-mode Round 12 and the longer-term impact on the ESS time series.

There is then a need to disseminate this learning in an accessible way to ESS data users through documentation and training. 

This new work package is being established to meet this challenge as well as coordinating how best to support ESS data users more generally when analysing ESS data.

The deadline for proposals is 12pm (BST) on Friday 4 April 2025.
