The Finnish Research Infrastructure for the Study of Public Opinion (FIRIPO) is a multidisciplinary center for the study of public opinion, attitude formation and choice behavior. FIRIPO serves a broad spectrum of various academic disciplines and scholars around the world. FIRIPO will also inform the society, especially decision-makers and the media. Through large-scale panel data design, FIRIPO is able to track developments in public opinion, and also to quickly respond to any needs concerning public opinion in current political issues. FIRIPO also facilitates laboratories for experimental research. During this funding period, the laboratories will be digitalized for hybrid and online experiments. As a research infrastructure, FIRIPO has three central aims: 1. To systematize and coordinate scientific research on public opinion in Finland; 2. To learn, develop and share (new) methods in public opinion research; and 3. To facilitate an open access platform for public opinion research.
