The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) is a continuing annual programme of cross-national collaboration on surveys covering topics important for social science research. Since 1983 it brings together pre-existing social science projects and co-ordinates research goals, thereby adding a cross-national, cross-cultural perspective to the individual national studies.The secretariat of the ISSP co-ordinates the official activities of the group. The GESIS-ZA as the official archive carries out the data service of the ISSP since 1986. GESIS-ZUMA, the national ISSP member, is convenor of the ISSP methodology research groups.Overview ISSP Modules:2008 - Religion III2007 - Leisure and Sports 2006 - Role of Government IV2005 - Work Orientations III2004 - Citizenship2003 - National Identity II2002 - Family and Gender Roles III2001 - Social Relations and Support Systems ('Social Networks II')2000 - Environment II1999 - Social Inequality III1998 - Religion II1997 - Work Orientations II1996 - Role of Government III1995 - National Identity1994 - Family and Changing Gender Roles II1993 - Environment1992 - Social Inequality II1991 - Religion1990 - Role of Government II1985/1990 - Role of Government I and II1989 - Work Orientations1988 - Family and Changing Sex Roles1987 - Social Inequality1986 - Social Networks and Support Systems1985 - Role of Government
