The IASPP was a research infrastructure funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT – Ref:RECI/IVC-SOC//0476/2012) focused in social and political attitudes in Portugal, in a comparative analysis from applied surveys and probability samples. Taking into account the recognized base projects, such as the European Social Survey (ESS) or the Portuguese Election Studies (PES), IASPP included the research programs Atitudes Sociais dos Portugueses (ASP) e Atitudes Políticas dos Portugueses (APP). From an interdisciplinary approach (featuring sociologists, political scientists and social psychologists) and an institutional collaboration between ICS-UL, ISCTE-IUL, ISCSP-UL and international partners, IASPP aimed to: allow the social scientific Portuguese community to trace and interpret stability and change in European social attitudes; increase the thoroughness of comparative research; create national evolution indicators, taking into account the perceptions and judgements on key social aspects; train researchers on quantitative methods; increase the visibility od data on social change among academics, political agents and the general public.
