📢 ESRA sponsors 4 GESIS Summer School scholarships (@gesistraining.bsky.social)! Application deadline is *April 26, 2026*. Courses on offer include, among others: - Questionnaire design - Advanced survey design - Sampling and weighting More info 👇 www.europeansurveyresearch.org/gesis-summer...

On Day 1 we kicked off the workshop with a deep dive into the GESIS Panel.dbd infrastructure. Together we explored how the panel is recruited and structured, how web tracking data are collected, and how digital traces like URLs, timestamps, and HTML are generated and stored.

Last week, the GESIS Panel.dbd Insight Days brought together 18 researchers to explore how web tracking and survey data can be combined for social science research. Over the next two posts, we’ll share key insights from both workshop days. Stay tuned!
