Measurement comes first
No claim without measurement; every finding reported against the evidence.
Research
What publics believe — measured systematically, compared with the evidence, published openly.
Societies argue over perceptions long before anyone has measured them. IRISP exists to measure first.
No claim without measurement; every finding reported against the evidence.
Every publication, dataset and methods note — free, for everyone.
Built for comparison across groups, countries and time.
Three agendas, set out in full in the programme report.
How much societies trust their institutions, science and media — and how that trust moves.
How perceptions form in the information environment, and how new technologies change them.
Where public belief diverges from the evidence — by how much, for whom, and why.
