The Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) Programme of UNICEF

In 2024, the European Social Survey (ESS) celebrates its 20th anniversary and the ESRC has been a proud funder of the UK module of the ESS since its inception. As the UK’s largest funder of economic, social, behavioural and human data science, the ESRC supports a number of world-leading research projects, to understand people and the world around us.
At the recent half-day event, the ESRC brought together a series of speakers to showcase some of the high-quality international survey research it had funded, to coincide with ESS' anniversary. Researchers had the opportunity to gain access to world-class data, with the event highlighting the power of the datasets generated by valuable social surveys and the insights that supported policy-making decisions with potential benefits for wider society.
Featuring a diverse line-up of speakers and covering a range of key policy themes, the event proved to be a thought-provoking and informative gathering that celebrated the achievements of the European Social Survey while looking towards the future of international survey research.
