Finnish Research Infrastructure for Public Opinion (FIRIPO)

The Finnish Research Infrastructure for Public Opinion (FIRIPO) is a collaborative effort by Åbo Akademi University, University of Turku and Tampere University to establish a national infrastructure for public opinion research in Finland.

1. Systematizing and coordinating scientific research on public opinion and choice behavior in Finland
2. Learning, developing and sharing (new) methods in public opinion research, and advising on the use of public opinion in policy-making
3. Creating an open node for public opinion research
4. Accelerating open science aims through open data and open collaboration in public opinion research in collaboration with the Finnish Social Science Data Archive

The infrastructure’s panel components provide researchers with reliable tools for data collection and the ability to investigate public opinion on current events quickly and accurately. The deliberation labs and decision-making labs offer tools to experimentally investigate decision making and policy choices.
