In close cooperation with clients and based on the specific design of a study, important questions arise: How is initial contact made during the survey?
What approaches are there to respondents?
Which communication channels can and should be used to maximize participation?
What is the best – and longest – way to build loyalty to a study?

Ask your questions. In the infas panel.

Every month, we interview 1,000 German citizens aged 18 and older by telephone for the infas panel. This panel was recruited on the basis of a probability sample and continuously expanded. It is also suitable for stand-alone ad hoc surveys. The thematic focus of the surveys in the infas panel is on social science issues.

Lagemaß

Lagemaß is an ongoing publication of infas and provides insights into the work of the institute, highlights research foci, and presents thematic or methodological study results. The contributions come from infas research staff and guest authors. In the inside section of each issue, artists are given space to engage with the respective focus topic in their own way. Lagemaß appears online and is in printed form.
