European Social Survey (ESS)
ESS is an academically-driven social survey designed to chart and explain interaction between Europe's changing institutions and attitudes, beliefs and behaviour patterns of its diverse populations. Now in its third round, the survey covers over 20 nations and employs the most rigorous methodologies. The data from ESS contain information about politics, cultural and religious issues, economy, social conditions etc. NSD is the offical archive for ESS responsible for control, adjustment, archiving and distribution of data and documentation.

- The ISSP-section that is conducted in all member states
- The Norwegian section that is conducted in Norway only
- The standard set of demographic and socio-economic background variables
ISSP provides data on living conditions, family issues, environment, work, national identity etc.
