10th-Anniversary-Call
10 minutes survey time for your study on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the GESIS Panel
The GESIS Panel celebrates its 10th anniversary! We are pleased to invite you to a unique call on this occasion: 10 minutes survey time in the GESIS Panel.pop for the 10th anniversary!
The GESIS Panel.pop Population Sample is a mixed-mode panel based on random survey samples of the adult German-speaking population of Germany and thus allows drawing conclusions about the general population. About 5,000 respondents are interviewed four times a year, either web-based or via paper questionnaires. After 10 years of regular data collection with the GESIS Panel.pop, a thematically diverse data set with cross-sectional and longitudinal survey modules has been created (including the GESIS Panel.pop longitudinal Core Studies). All researchers have access to the entire GESIS Panel.pop data (53 survey waves to date), containing relevant variables for sociology, psychology, political science, economics, and other disciplines. Researchers can submit survey questions via Regular Submissions or Short Submissions for their research for data collection free of charge - however, survey slots are limited to a maximum duration of five minutes.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the GESIS Panel.pop, we offer one survey slot of 10 minutes survey time (maximum of 50 survey questions/items). The submissions within the frame of this call undergo a competitive review, with the best study receiving the survey slot for data collection.
Timeline
For this call, a survey slot is reserved in one of our survey waves in 2026 (wave „nb“, „nc“ or „nd“).
The deadline for submitting to this 10th-Anniversary-Call is May 31, 2025. Which submission will be integrated into our ten-minute survey slot will be decided at the latest by fall 2025.
How to submit
Please fill out our 10th-Anniversary-Call submission form (191 kB) and the GESIS Panel.pop questionnaire template (21 kB). You can also base your study on existing GESIS Panel.pop variables or replicate them. In our Codebook (36MB) and in our Study Description (3MB), you can find an overview of our comprehensive data. Please note that longitudinal data collection or experiments are not possible within the framework of the 10th-Anniversary-Call.
We look forward to receiving your proposals via email: info(at)gesis-panel(dot)org. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
The submission paths of the GESIS Panel.pop
You can submit your study to the GESIS Panel.pop for free data collection at any time beyond this call via our submission paths. Submissions are evaluated on a rolling basis and integrated into our survey waves.
Regular Submissions allow submitting items with a maximum survey time of 5 minutes. In addition, experiments with up to four experimental groups can be implemented as part of Regular Submissions. Short Submissions allow submitting items with a maximum survey time of one minute. You can also field your items in the GESIS Panel.pop as part of Third-party funded Studies – however, reserving survey slots for specific waves before project funding is approved or before the project starts will incur a fee. Longitudinal data collection is possible in all our submission paths.
