Another example of managed access is Eurobarometer.
Held at GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, Eurobarometer is an example of a repeated cross-national survey project. Beginning in 1973 to measure public opinion towards the expanding European Community, the bi-annual standard Eurobarometer asks about attitudes towards European unification, EU institutions and policies, and australia rcs data measures general socio-political orientations.
The result is a data set comparable across countries and over time.
See also European Values Survey, European Social Survey.
These aren’t necessarily the “best” or the most used data sets, but in my experience are interesting in their scale, ambition, unique value, and richness of data. To me, they are national treasures capturing aspects of British identity and heritage.
There are a few thousand more data collections at the UK Data Service. They’re free to use, available digitally, and most have low barriers to access. Time to find your own favourites.
