SolPan Blog

On this site you will find findings from the SolPan project in a series of blog posts from different country teams.

The SolPan study examines how people in ten European countries deal with the restrictions and challenges during the pandemic. In two interview phases (phase 1: April 2020; phase 2: October 2020), the SolPan team spoke to the same people from different social groups in each country on the phone to hear about their everyday life, and their views on the pandemic containment measures. The third interview phase took place in October 2021.

The latest findings from the study are regularly presented in the blog posts listed below.
