About the project

Research, not opinion

For several years this project has gathered the voices of citizens across European regions through anonymous scientific surveys. The aim is to understand identity and belonging — never to promote any political agenda or to offend anyone. The results are compared across regions and over time, building a unique, long-term picture of European identity.

Scientific methodStandardised questionnaires, cross-regional comparison
Privacy firstFully anonymous, GDPR-compliant, no personal data
Non-partisanNo political agenda — understanding, not advocacy
LongitudinalMulti-year data tracks how identities evolve over time
