Research Projects Project Leadership
2013 Principal investigator of a project entitled "Citizens' Resilience in the most Crisishit countries in a comparative Perspective" submitted for a call under FP7. 2012- Kern CV member of a project entitled IASPP, “Infrastructure on Social and Political Attitudes of the Portuguese”. This project combines an infrastructure for the study of political behavior and social attitudes in Portugal, building on two long-running projects in the ICS, namely the Electoral Behavior project and the European Social Surveys Project.
2009- Project Director of "Bússola Eleitoral" (Electoral Compass) which created a Voting Advice Application (VAA) in the 2009 Portuguese Legislative Elections. This was the first VAA ever created in Portugal and 175,000 persons answered the online questionnaire. Yet it is very new, in the sense that there was an online political survey for the first time in Portugal.
We have also now characterized twelve parties in the Portuguese spectrum with political statements from official documents, giving us a very rich and complex understanding of Portuguese parties positioning today. 2001- Co-director of a project entitled "Electoral behavior and political attitudes in a comparative perspective" together with André Freire (until 2007) and Pedro Magalhães. Project funded by the following institutions: Foundation for Science and Technology, Tinker Foundation, Gulbenkian Foundation, Luso American Foundation and Government Departments for the Observation of Elections.
Since 2002, we have been responsible for the application of post-election surveys in the main elections in Portugal (legislative and presidential), and for the publication of several volumes that characterize the Portuguese electorate, in a contextual and a comparative perspective. Within this project, I specialized in the topic of leader effects, their scope, their substantive meaning, their relationship to types of parties, and their differential impact between specific types of voters, both in a longitudinal and comparative.
