«The Potentials of Civil Society: Solidarity and Crisis Management» is a joint initiative funded by the Berlin University Alliance (BUA). The team around Swen Hutter, Jule Specht und Christian von Scheve is interested in how the coronavirus pandemic has affected polical and social engagement. As part of the study we have just launched the first wave of a public opinion survey in five European countries. For further information on the project see https://solziv.blog/
