49-494: The reasons to start this new time series of social scientific data was that existing cross-national attitude surveys were regarded as not of sufficient methodological rigour to draw on as reliable sources for knowledge about changes over time in Europe. Since 2002-2003, a total of 40 countries have participated in at least one round of data collection. In the most recent 2020-2022 ESS Round 10, 32 countries are participating. In 2013,
