Topics

Standard & Special Eurobarometer have intermittently investigated a broad scope of special topics, such as agriculture, biotechnology, energy, environment, gender roles, immigration, information society, knowledge of foreign languages, poverty and social exclusion, public health, regional identity, science and technology, working conditions, urban traffic etc. A Eurobarometer specific subject tree supports the identification of these topical modules throughout the survey series:

• Special topics by keyword
  
  

Trends

A number of questions asked in the Standard Eurobarometer have been replicated more or less regularly over time. They mainly refer to European Union topics (e.g. attitudes towards the European unification, EU institutions and policies) and to general socio-cultural or socio-political orientations (e.g. political participation, trust in institutions, cultural identity). Researchers are supported in using raw data for calculating time series or other comparative analysis of social change through continuity guides and cumulative data sets for selected trends:
