VW foundation - Public opinion panel surveys

The tender for this portion of the project will field nationally representative public opinion panel surveys research in at least 3 European countries (United Kingdom, Germany, France) to measure policy preferences and beliefs about foreign and domestic policy. This work package is necessary to assessing the nature and variation of public opinion about foreign policy in Europe. By looking at beliefs in multiple countries and at multiple points in time, it is possible to examine a much richer set of potential individual and institutional level factors that may limit or exacerbate the spread of misperceptions, and give us a better understanding of the contextual factors that condition receptivity to corrective messages. But just as importantly, it provides an opportunity to collect public opinion data on issues that pose potential risk to the health and wellbeing of the EU as an institution and to European populations more generally.
