The CDSP at the ESRA 2025 Conference
From 14 to 18 July 2025, Utrecht University (Netherlands) hosted the 11th edition of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) conference. This event brings together survey methodologists, statisticians, and research engineers from across Europe and beyond.
About the ESRA Conference
The 2025 edition focused on the promises and limitations of new data sources and formats for survey research, with a special emphasis on the methodological challenges they raise and the empirical insights they make possible.
Several CDSP members attended this international conference, which has become a major reference point in the field since its first edition in 2005.
CDSP Contributions
Justine Lévy and Sarah Blain gave a presentation on the key role of panel managers in longitudinal surveys, drawing on the French experiences of ELIPSS and CRONOS. Their talk highlighted the often-invisible but crucial relational work performed by panel managers to sustain respondent engagement and ensure data quality.
Based on ELIPSS participation and response data since 2012, Malick Nam presented an analysis of response rates according to various sociodemographic variables, as well as a comparison of monthly response accumulation curves based on the same variables.
The aim of this research is to better understand the factors influencing panelist behavior dynamics according to user profiles.
Mathieu Olivier presented a poster on the ELIPSS panel, reviewing the history of the system and upcoming projects. The presentation draws on various paradata collected since the last panel refresh (June 2023) to better understand the determinants of attrition, participation rates, and response mode, and to inform discussions ahead of the next refresh scheduled for autumn 2025.
