Infra4NextGen uses large infrastructures and the mixed-mode panel CRONOS3

The Infra4NextGen (I4NG) project is bringing together data on the topics Make it Green; Make it Digital; Make it Healthy; Make it Strong; Make it Equal to help inform the NextGenerationEU programme and European Union youth policy. The data come from key research infrastructures in the field of social sciences – ESS, GGP, ISSP, EVS, EQLS and Eurobarometer. To collect new data, the I4NG project used the CROss-National Online Survey 3 (CRONOS3) panel of respondents. CRONOS3 is an international probability panel of respondents aged 18+ from Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Finland, France, Hungary, Iceland, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. The panel respondents participated in the ESS Round 10 and 11 surveys and agreed to continue their cooperation. The data are collected using the self-completion method (web and paper questionnaires).

I4NG conducted five surveys on the CRONOS3 panel, each with the themes Make it … Green, Digital, Healthy, Strong, and Equal. The Make It Green topic examines public attitudes towards climate change, behavioural changes to protect the climate, support for climate policies and assessment of the impacts of climate action on different social groups. The Make it Digital topic explores digital connectivity, digital skills, views on the use of artificial intelligence in work and life and related integration and stress factors among different groups of people. The Make it Healthy topic focuses on work-life balance, living conditions affecting health, access to healthcare and medication use, availability of unhealthy products, and life stressors and lifestyle. The Make it Strong topic reports on views on education, work and social mobility, assessment of educational and job opportunities, and motivation to study science and technology. It also maps perceptions of life, views on family and marriage, political orientation, trust in institutions and forms of active citizenship. The Make it Equal theme addresses the perception of inequalities resulting from systemic injustice or individual failures, and the popular support of measures ensuring equal access to opportunities or redistribution of wealth.
