Welcome
gfs.bern specialises in two key areas of social research: politics and communications research. Based on our knowledge of the political arena and the opinion-making processes related to topics and issues, we have developed a systematic understanding of public opinion and gained more in-depth knowledge of the processes involved.

We combine surveys of internal and external target groups and media content analyses to produce an evidence-based contribution to strategy definition and communication control.
