From the academic side
This survey has no sponsoring body and no client. What the name of an institute would otherwise supply — an authority that vouches for the design — is provided here by academics who support it with their names.

As further commitments come in, those names will appear here too — with position and institution. Anyone who has expressly agreed carries a green check mark; where a request is still open, a grey clock is shown.
The people named here support the design of the survey with their names. Responsibility for the design, the conduct and the analysis lies with the head of the study alone. They have approved nothing and receive no individual data; they carry no responsibility and no liability. Mistakes remain ours.
They receive the questionnaire and the sampling plan in advance and the field report after the survey — always without addresses and without individual data — and may comment on whatever strikes them — none of it is binding, and it is expressly not a committee. The institution given is a detail about the person; it is not a sponsor of the survey.
People and institutions that welcome the survey taking place
Anyone who finds an invitation in the letterbox decides within seconds whether or not to take it seriously. That is why we have asked people from leisure and cultural life for a brief word — not for money, not for data, not for their time. The panel is a private initiative: no client, no funding, no institutional sponsor.

This list last updated:
The requests are out. The names stand here provisionally; quotations will appear once they have been approved. No listing has been approved in this version — which is why the cards carry a grey clock. Anyone who expressly agrees is given a green check mark.
The people and institutions named here welcome the fact that the survey is taking place. They are neither clients nor funders, had no influence on the questionnaire and receive no individual data. A statement of support confers no say whatsoever over the analysis or the publication — which is precisely why we can accept it only on those terms.
The results will be published in full — whatever they turn out to be — and are available to all institutions, including those that said nothing.
