Our current research

We are currently working on 2 major research projects of high relevance. The project European Political Information Environments in Times of Corona is a comparative two-wave survey in 17 countries. The second, THREATPIE, examines how the threats and potentials of a changing political information environment affect the conditions for a healthy democracy.
