B. RESEARCH COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES

Co-Director of the European Elections Studies project project since 1987. Every five years academic surveys of voters are conducted in all the countries that take part in elections to the European Parliament. Since 1989 these studies have been directed towards establishing a long-term time-series of datasets with many variables in common, and they have been planned and executed by a consortium of scholars from most EU countries. In 2008 a 2.4 Million Euro FP7 grant from the Commission of the European Communities was awarded to investigate the feasibility of using the EES to Provide an Infrastructure for Research on Electoral Democracy in the European Union. For details see www.piredeu.eu.

Director and organizer of the "Conference on Contextual Effects in Electoral Research" held November 30th to December 1st 2006 at the European University Institute.

The conference focused on issues in the design of election studies: what problems have been solved, what problems remain, and what changes show promise of opening up new avenues of research or of improving the way in which research opportunities are grasped. The proceedings were published in early 2002 as a Special Issue of Electoral Studies, with guest editors Mark Franklin and Christopher Wlezien, and reprinted in late 2002 by Pergamon as an edited volume.
