The European Social Survey (ESS) was launched in 2001 after about five years of meticulous design under the aegis of the European Science Foundation and representatives of the main European academic funding councils. The aim was not only to set up a new high quality time series on changing social values in Europe but also to improve methods of cross‐national attitude measurement. The ESS is based on a model of input harmonization, recognizing nonetheless that equivalence across countries does not necessarily depend on identical inputs. The ESS started with three primary aims: first, to produce rigorous data about long‐term changes in socio‐political attitudes within and between European nations; second, to rectify longstanding measurement deficits in the equivalence of comparative quantitative data, particularly in respect of public attitudes; and third, to gain legitimacy for selected data on social attitudes and public perceptions to be more prominent as indicators of national progress.Controlled Vocabulary Termscross‐sectional study; surveys
