The second decade of the twenty-first century has been witness to relevant social changes and events in European countries: economic crisis inside a changing economic infrastructure, war in Syria and the refugee crisis, the rise of populist parties in many countries and the development of information technology, to mention what appear to be the most significant events. While the relevance of these changes is clear and well defined, it is less evident how opinions, attitudes and values have changed too, if at all. The data providing the backdrop to this monographic section come from the two top research infrastructures studying changing values in Europe and all over the world, and offer a unique opportunity to explore this side of social change.
