Study title

The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) is a continuing annual programme of cross-national collaboration on surveys covering topics important for social science research. Since 1983 it brings together pre-existing social science projects and co-ordinates research goals, thereby adding a cross-national, cross-cultural perspective to the individual national studies.

The secretariat of the ISSP co-ordinates the official activities of the group. The GESIS-ZA as the official archive carries out the data service of the ISSP since 1986. GESIS-ZUMA, the national ISSP member, is convenor of the ISSP methodology research groups.
