It is conducted in European countries in 9-year cycles and examines the continuity and changes in values related to the most important areas of human life. In Slovakia, it was first conducted in 1991 as part of Czechoslovakia and in 1999 as an independent study. The joint guarantor of the project is the international methodological group at the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands. The main objective is to enable an international comparison of values and attitudes and their changes in European countries. The topics covered in the research include: work, life goals, family life, religion, current social problems, feelings of happiness, volunteer activities, social distance, interest in politics and political activity, national identity, solidarity, attitudes towards immigrants, the region, the country, the EU, and so on. The key research questions are: What pattern of values unites Europeans? Does Europe maintain the cultural unity that developed under the influence of Christianity and the Enlightenment? Do traditional values still permeate European life and culture? Are respect for human rights, the rule of law, compassion for the poor, and the value of freedom still typical of Europe? Is there a coherent alternative to Christianity and humanism? And if so, what are the implications for European unity?
