Together they explore what decades of data reveal about shifting attitudes toward politics, religion, trust, family, and identity, and whether today's debates about polarisation and cultural divides hold up against the evidence. The conversation also looks at how these surveys are adapting to declining response rates, digital trace data, and the AI era, and what they might tell us about where societies are heading next.\nAffiliations: \nTim Reeskens – Professor of European Values ​​and Societies in the Department of Sociology at Tilburg University.
