Solvay 224 Avenue Louise 1050 Brussels Mobilise! Incorporating Mobile Phones in Social and Policy-oriented Surveys ALEC M GALLUP FUTURE OF 1SURVEY RESEARCH FORUM 14 October, 2009 Hôtel Solvay 224 Avenue Louise 1050 Brussels % Dear Attendee, Mobile phones have had a remarkable impact on the world in a relatively short period of time. In all surveys, the overriding consideration is to reach all members of the public, young or old, male or female, employed or self- employed. In the nineties, fixed-line telephone coverage reached almost saturation point, but times are changing. In Europe, countries such as Finland and the Czech Republic now have a majority of citizens who are "mobile-only". Furthermore, as mobile phone ownership and usage is currently higher among certain groups, such as younger members of the population, the potential arises for mobile-phone non- coverage bias. This was a topic widely debated during the 2004 US Presidential election. Further discussion and research on the topic is vital. That's why Gallup has brought together the world's leading experts to thrash out issues that will undoubtedly impact the future of social research. Earlier this year, we were saddened by the death of Alec Gallup, a consummate polling professional who served the company for 60 years. If he was still with us, he would be watching the increase of the mobile-phone population with interest. Alec Gallup understood polling from A to Z and he knew that that the future of survey research depended on methodologies that would continue to give an equal opportunity of being polled … to all members of the public Bi-annual series of seminars: Future of Surveys We would therefore like to welcome you to "The 1st Alec Gallup Future of Survey Research Forum: Incorporating Mobile Phones in Social and Policy-oriented Surveys. Such events will be held bi-annually, to maintain a dialogue about the challenges of survey research in the changing reality. Enjoy the day, Robert Manchin, Chairman of the Board and Managing Director The Gallup Organisation Europe Alec M. GALLUP 1928-2009 Alec M. Gallup, the late Chairman of the Gallup Poll, worked for the company for 60 years, acting as Co-Chairman along with his brother George Jr. in the 1990s. He was a member of Gallup Europe's Board of Directors since its inception in 2003. Alec was a consummate polling professional. In an interview some years ago, while agreeing that technology was changing the face of polling, Alec Gallup said that although the process was becoming quicker and more sophisticated, the "fine art of crafting a good question" remained integral to successful polling. Back in the early 1970s, Alec Gallup was part of the expert team that drafted the first versions of what were to become many of the key trend questions in the Eurobarometer series. Some of Alec Gallup's major contributions to international polls include: a Survey of Nine Islamic Nations - conducted post 9/11, the Health of The Planet Survey - conducted in conjunction with the first World Forum on the Global Environment held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1992, and a Survey of Consumer Attitudes and Lifestyles in China - the first scientifically-based national survey of the People's Republic of China (1997 and 1999).

For these reasons, ESOMAR is calling upon business leaders who commission research, national government leaders, international bodies, and the business community to take these following steps: 1. Maintain the current levels of funding and reallocate research spend to help improve our knowledge and evidence-base on Covid-19 related measures; 2. Enact government funding programmes to specifically support collaboration on Covid-19 thematic research for the general interest; 3. Issue immediately calls for tender to conduct comprehensive and wide-ranging social research by researchers that abide to the principles of accepted codes of conduct governing market, opinion, and social research; 4. Support our measures to collate and disseminate research expertise for the general public interest; 5. Establish multi-disciplinary research expert groups composed of academics, private experts and government representatives to provide up-to-date research expertise on the impact of the crisis and to support communication efforts both during and after the crisis has passed; 6. Work with these expert groups to evaluate and use the insights to inform government strategies moving forward. The research community stands ready to act in support of the general public interest.

It was his confidence, continuous support, motivation and immense knowledge that helped me throughout my Ph.D. study. Without a doubt, he is amongst the two people to whom I owe this achievement. Besides my advisor, my sincere thanks also go to Prof. Dr. Emese Domahidi, who together with Prof. Wolling, provided me an opportunity in the last year of my dissertation to work on an ambitious research project. In addition to the opportunity, it was her work ethics and critical perspective that made me see things in a way I did not before. I thank my colleagues for listening to my mundane and half cooked research ideas during fine summer afternoons and for all the stimulating discussions we had in the last six years. Last but not the least, I would like to thank my family: my parents who have always trusted me, to my siblings for bearing me, and finally, my wife for being there and supporting me in the toughest of times.
