We conduct annual attitude surveys to learn how the Swedish public views science, research and researchers. On this page, you can read about these surveys and our other studies investigating public attitudes.
Our annual attitude surveys are conducted in two different ways:
- The VA Barometer has been conducted annually since 2002 through telephone interviews with a sample of individuals representing the Swedish public aged 16-74.
- As part of the National SOM surveys, postal questionnaires were sent to a representative sample of 3,000 Swedish individuals aged 16-85 years living in Sweden. This Science in Society-survey was conducted by Public & Science Sweden in cooperation with the SOM Institute, (Society, Opinion, Mass Media) at Gothenburg University during 2002–2020.
Other studies:
- Communication about Corona is investigating media reporting and public trust during the COVID-19 pandemic.
