💥New | Social scientists bring their faith into research – And it shows up in their results ✍️ @valeriarainero.bsky.social, Jörg Stolz and Ruud Luijkx #SocialScience #Faith #AcademicSky

This week, the EVS community came together in Lisbon to give further shape to the new wave! ☀️ Altogether, fruitful days that brought us closer to the EVS 2026 release (and the low flying planes)! ✈️

Out now in @jssreligion.bsky.social with @ruudluijkx.bsky.social Using topic modeling on 1600+ academic articles, we provide a systematization of secularization literature and test whether researchers tend to study their own communities 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Fieldwork has begun! 🕵️ Spain is leading the way, fielding the EVS starting December 2025. EVS data have been used extensively to study Spanish society. For example, check out this chapter, outlining how Spain is secularizing: bit.ly/49BeVL9 #EVS2026 #EuropeanValues #Spain #SocialScience

A report analysing data from major cross-national #surveys on the #digital divide in Europe has been published today. The #data summary – produced for the Infra4NextGen project (@horizoneu.bsky.social 🇪🇺) – focuses on attitudes amongst younger people compared to older respondents.

Kicking off now in #Munich: the #ICOSCities final annual project meeting! 🙌 🇩🇪 🌍 We're thrilled to host over 80 participants from all over Europe for two days focused on cutting-edge #urban #greenhouse gas monitoring and essential #climate action services for cities. 🎯

Just Voted: #ISSP 2028 will replicate the 2018 Religion module! First fielded in 1991, this module tracks almost 40 years of religious beliefs, behaviors, and their role in society. It offers vital insights into secularization, spirituality, and religion’s impact globally.
