Eurobarometer

Eurobarometer is a series of public opinion surveys conducted regularly on behalf of the European Commission and other EU institutions since 1974.

Regular semi-annual polls of member nations – now also including Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom – began in September 1973, with the survey series first being given the name Eurobarometer in 1974.

Special irregularly repeated modules investigate topics such as agriculture, biotechnology, consumer behaviour, elderly people, energy, environment, family, gender issues, health, immigration, poverty, regional identity, science and technology, urban traffic, working conditions, youth, etc.

The Flash Eurobarometer was introduced in the 1990s and consists of interviews, conducted by telephone, which are undertaken on an ad hoc basis.

As of 2024, the Standard Eurobarometer surveys included data from the candidate countries of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey, as well as the Turkish Cypriot Community (Northern Cyprus) and the former member state of the United Kingdom.
