As part of GLEN, several thousand respondents from a registration office sample are surveyed several times per year on topics relating to the environment, climate change, politics, health and other aspects. The majority of the survey waves are conducted online.<\/p>\n<p>External researchers from non-commercial research institutions are cordially invited to submit proposals for survey content, which will be implemented in a GLEN online wave.
