Innovation and Training

POAL is a lab for methodological innovations in public opinion polling. Current breakthroughs in AI pose both important risks in attitude formation (disinformation, deep fakes) and for the quality of polls and the rigour of survey methodology, but also significant opportunities for methodological advancement. POAL has a dedicated methodology unit, tasked with turbo-charging methodological innovation in polling and survey analysis, and with sharing best practices and provide methodological feedback and training to researchers (both in academia and industry).
