Social surveys have faced multiple challenges in recent years and it has become increasingly difficult to collect high quality survey data. The Survey Futures Conference marks the culmination of a three-year cross-sector collaboration which has aimed to tackle these challenges by providing research evidence and practical insights that will inform the design and implementation of high quality social surveys over the coming years.
Led by world-leading survey experts at the Institute for Social and Economic Research, Survey Futures was established in 2023 by the UKRI Economic and Social Research Council. The aim of the research programme was to deliver a step change in survey research to ensure that it will remain possible in the UK to carry out high quality social surveys of the kinds required by the public and academic sectors to monitor and understand society, and to provide an evidence base for policy.
Over two days, the research findings and conclusions from nine strands of research and related activities will be presented and discussed. This is a must-attend event for all those involved in commissioning, designing or carrying out social surveys in the UK.
The Conference will be hosted by City St Georges, University of London. Register now here to save your place.
