The event is aimed at presenting the Online Research Panel (ORP), a new opt-in online panel of 10.000 adults developed within the FOSSR project to support open, high‑quality social science research in Italy.
ORP offers researchers and stakeholders the opportunity to conduct surveys for scientific purposes and access open data, and hosts the permanent Observatory on Civicness and the Evolution of Society (CIVES Observatory).
ORP provides a stable, transparent and accessible platform for producing high‑frequency data as a public good for the scientific community.
