CIES-Iscte hosts first European training school on populism and Euroscepticism<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On 19 and 20 March 2026<\/strong>, CIES-Iscte<\/strong> hosted the first Training School of the EUPopLink COST Action<\/a> (CA23102), a European initiative investigating the relationship between populism and Euroscepticism. Held at Iscte \u2013 University Institute of Lisbon, the event brought together researchers from several European countries to examine the theoretical and methodological challenges of studying these phenomena and citizens’ attitudes towards democracy and European integration.<\/p>\n

The training addressed a central challenge in comparative political research: how can complex political concepts be defined and measured consistently across different national contexts?<\/p>\n

The opening session featured Ana Belchior<\/strong>, representing Iscte, and Ioannis Andreadis<\/strong>, Chair of the EUPopLink Action, who introduced the project’s objectives and scientific framework.<\/p>\n

On the first day, Alexia Katsanidou<\/strong> explored the measurement of Euroscepticism using survey data and the challenges involved in harmonising information collected across countries. Marta Lorimer<\/strong> and Stijn van Kessel<\/strong> examined conceptual definitions and theoretical connections between populism and Euroscepticism.<\/p>\n

The programme also featured a session by Ioannis Andreadis<\/strong> on multilingual online surveys and the EUPopLink Survey<\/em>, followed by a keynote lecture by Pedro Magalh\u00e3es<\/strong> examining how social desirability influences the measurement of democratic attitudes.<\/p>\n

The second day focused on empirical research and methodological approaches. Sofia Vasilopoulou<\/strong> discussed the relationship between Euroscepticism and regional inequalities, while Eftichia Teperoglou<\/strong> addressed common difficulties and recommended practices in analysing survey data following harmonisation procedures.<\/p>\n

Participants also took part in practical activities involving the Limesurvey Quick Translation Tool<\/em> and the testing of the survey instrument developed within the EUPopLink project.<\/p>\n

Beyond its training objectives, the event provided an opportunity to strengthen collaboration among researchers from different countries and academic traditions, encouraging the development of comparative approaches to the study of political attitudes in Europe.<\/p>\n

The first EUPopLink Training School highlighted the value of international scientific cooperation and methodological rigour in understanding political developments with significant implications for European democracies.<\/p>\n
