OPINION-RESEARCH

Most people are familiar with the online voting advice applications (VAAs) we develop prior to elections. It is less known that Kieskompas is primarily a research institute. We have scientific roots: Kieskompas was founded in 2006 as a startup at the VU University in Amsterdam. We focus on collecting and studying aocial and political opinions.

We do a lot of research
Kieskompas conducts research projects in the Netherlands, but also internationally. This often happens in collaboration with scientists from all over the world. Research can be implemented with data from our online VAA tools (the Kieskompas, Election Compass) and by conducting extensive survey research. In every country where we have developed an online Election Compass (more than 40 countries, including nearly all EU countries), people have expressed that their willingness to participate in scientific research by disclosing their email address. This allows us to survey and subsequently study large groups of citizens.

For whom?
Scientists from across the globe use our data for research. We also conduct research on behalf of governments, political parties, interest groups, think-taks and other parties interested in the opinion structures of their supporters or specific target groups.
